Under the NSERC program terms for Engage awards, any Intellectual Property (IP) arising from the project (“Arising IP”) must belong to the company. To reflect these requirements, Lakehead University has developed an agreement which provides for the assignment of the Arising IP to the company. Consistent with NSERC policies and Lakehead’s policies and practices, this agreement also provides for a license to each of the creators of the Arising IP, and to Lakehead, to use the Arising IP for non-commercial research and academic purposes only.
