Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
Before commencement of collaborative research, etc., or other research collaboration by corporate researchers and Science Tokyo faculty members
When there is exchange of information between both parties regarding the research to ascertain whether the parties are in agreement concerning the intention of the research subject, an NDA is concluded between Science Tokyo and the corporation when required.
(In such cases, when the properties, etc., of material* created by faculty members are learned of within the corporation, an MTA is concluded between Science Tokyo and the corporation.
*Material: In an MTA agreement, material is called "seika yuutaibutsu, " in Japanese. Material does not refer only to chemicals; devices and apparatus, etc., are also treated as material.)
In other cases, described below, an NDA is concluded.
- In cases when information exchanged between corporate researchers and faculty members includes information concerning research by faculty members that has not been made public
- In cases when the patent specification of undisclosed patent applications held by Science Tokyo is disclosed
- (Science Tokyo may request a fee for disclosure.)
- In cases when corporate researchers and faculty members exchange information on various occasions that includes information concerning research by the corporation and trade secrets
【Precautions】
These agreements are agreements between Science Tokyo and corporations. Individual faculty members of Science Tokyo do not conclude agreements with corporations.
