Agreements with AT&T Information Systems Company and Chrysler Corporation (Exceptions to the Genera/ Rules)

(7) AT&T Information Systems and Chrysler Corporation, under the Chrysler Challenge Fund, have offered to support six research projects at the UrbanaChampaign campus. T h e proposed support agreements would provide Chrysler and AT&T with irrevocable, worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free licenses to University-owned patentable inventions arising from the sponsored research. The license granted Chrysler would be limited to the field of automobile manufacture and that granted AT&T restricted to internal use of the technologies by AT&T. Such licensing terms are company policy for both firms. Section 7 (e) of the General Rules provides that license terms which contain royalty-free rights or terms that deny the University the ability to recapture its technology rights constitute exceptions. T h e University has previously accepted identical terms from other sponsors. It is anticipated that future awards from AT&T and Chrysler will require similar terms. Approval is also requested to execute future contracts with Chrysler and AT&T containing the same terms without requesting further approval from the University Patent Committee and the Board of Trustees. T h e University Patent Committee considers the terms reasonable and recommends approval. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . H o w a r d , t h e s e r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s w e r e a p p r o v e d .
