X-Radcan Limited, a medium-sized radiography equipment manufacturer,
has contacted Prof. Kent for assistance with the design of a clinical trial
relating to its invention of a modified linear accelerator for use in the
treatment of breast cancer. X-Radcan offers to pay Prof. Kent £5,000 for
the work but insists on owning any IP arising from the work and that Prof.
Kent must keep her work confidential. Prof. Kent accepts the work by
return e-mail.
Think about what the Professors have got wrong here? Should the
Professors be undertaking consultancy on their own account? What
issues should Prof. Kent have covered in the contract with X-Radcan?
It may help you to look again at the Consulting Guide.
