Section 813-003-0015 - Guidelines Concerning Acquisition and Use of Intellectual Property

(1) Subject to any superior Patent or Copyright limitations, the Department may, at its reasonable discretion, license, share with, or otherwise provide for the use by a Person of Intellectual Property acquired or developed by the Department. In determining whether or not to allow use of its Intellectual Property, the Department may consider factors including, but not limited to the public interest served in allowing its use, the cost and administrative burden of allowing its use, the furtherance of Department purposes through allowing its use, the potential liability from allowing its use, the Department's experience with the Person, the reputation in the community of the Person, the ability of the Person to pay an appropriate fee for the use of the Intellectual Property, the Person's execution of a Licensing Agreement and/or other documents satisfactory to the Department, and the impact of allowing its use on the ability of the Department to acquire or develop additional Intellectual Property.

(2) Unless specified otherwise in these rules, the Department may charge reasonable fees for the licensing, sharing or other use of its Intellectual Property. Payment of fees may be required on any schedule established by the Department.

(3) When the Department determines to license, share with or otherwise allow the use of any Intellectual Property by a federal, state, or local government body, it will do so without charging a fee.
