Document background
The Research License agreement is essential when organizations need to formally authorize the use of their intellectual property, materials, or technology for research purposes. This document is particularly crucial in Switzerland's advanced research and innovation ecosystem, where precise definition of rights and obligations is necessary for compliance with Swiss law and protection of valuable intellectual property. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions on the scope of permitted research, confidentiality requirements, publication rights, and ownership of research results. It's commonly used in academic-industry collaborations, inter-institutional research projects, and when providing access to proprietary technology or materials for scientific investigation. The Research License should be tailored to address specific Swiss regulatory requirements while maintaining flexibility for different research contexts.
