Other Licence Provisions Section 7 Training It is possible that your licensee may require a helping hand to use or understand the IP for which it has taken a licence. If so, they may require further information, assistance or training from you. If this is the case you will want to make it clear to what extent you would be prepared to offer that further information or assistance. If the licensee requires you or other members of your research group to travel to its premises to assist, you may want to impose a maximum period of time during which this would be possible. Otherwise, this could impact upon your own work and other commitments. In some circumstances you may want to charge for additional services on a consultancy basis. Think also about ensuring your licensee pays for any travel or out-ofpocket expenses. You will need to get the relevant permissions from your manager and institution to do so. Ensure under the licence you are limited to transferring and helping them understand, the know-how or the way in which the technology works. Any research requirements should be dealt with separately under a research development agreement. Where your licensee simply requires further information – only agree to provide this upon reasonable request and to the extent you believe it is necessary for the purposes of the licence. Furthermore, make sure your licensee is obliged to keep any additional information confidential. Improvements What happens if you or your licensee amends or modifies your IP? This is commonly referred to as an "improvement". Whether you or your licensee owns the improvements made will need to be considered in the licence. 48
