Lambert Research Collaboration Interactive path

Welcome to the interactive mind map. This small tool was created to help you work out which lambert research document you need for your research or project. When you are ready to begin, click the link below. [[First Question]]

1. Has the project been commissioned by the collaborator? [[Yes->q1yes]] [[No->Second Question]]

2. Is the project critical to the development of the collaborator's technology or its business strategy? [[Yes->q1yes]] [[No->Third Question]]

It looks as though Collaboration Agreement 1, 2 or 3 will be the most suitable for your purposes. Please go to (link: "section 3")[(goto-url: "https://www.ipo.gov.uk/lambert-decguide-sect3.htm")] (of the IPR Site) to consider whether to use Collaboration Agreement 1, 2 or 3. [[Return to start->So where to begin?]]

3. Does the project rely substantially on the collaborator's background? [[Yes->q3yes]] [[No->Fourth Question]]

It looks as though Collaboration Agreement 1, 2 or 3 will be the most suitable for your purposes, but the situation is not absolutely clear and you may wish to reconsider some of your answers. Please go to (link: "section 3")[(goto-url: "https://www.ipo.gov.uk/lambert-decguide-sect3.htm")] (of the IPR site) to consider whether to use Collaboration Agreement 1, 2 or 3. [[Return to start->So where to begin?]]

4. Would the project be difficult or impossible to carry out without privileged access to the collaborator's background? [[Yes->q3yes]] [[No->Fifth Question]]

5. Is the focus of the project the testing or analysis of, or development of the collaborator's background? [[Yes->q5yes]] [[No->Sixth Question]]

The position is evenly balanced, Collaboration Agreement 4A may most closely fit your needs. You may wish to reconsider some of your answers. Answering the (link:"additional questions")[(goto-url:"https://www.ipo.gov.uk/lambert-questions.htm")] may help to clarify things. [[Return to start->So where to begin?]]

6. Has the collaborator taken the lead in designing the work plan for the project? [[Yes->q6yes]] [[No->7th Question]]

It looks as though Collaboration Agreement 4, 4A, 5 or 6 will be the most suitable for your purposes, but the situation is not absolutely clear and you may wish to reconsider some of your answers. In any case you should consider whether the Institute needs to use the results for academic purposes. Please go to (link:"section 2")[(goto-url:"https://www.ipo.gov.uk/lambert-decguide-sect2.htm")] to consider whether to use Collaboration Agreement 4, 4A, 5 or 6. [[Return to start->So where to begin?]]

7. Is the collaborator defining the deliverables and/or milestones for the project? [[Yes->q6yes]] [[No->8th Question]]

8. Can the project be ring-fenced from the Principal Investigator's (PI's) other research projects? [[Yes->q8yes]] [[No->9th Question]]

It looks as though Collaboration Agreement 4, 4A, 5 or 6 will be the most suitable for your purposes, but you should consider whether the institute needs to use the results for academic and research purposes. Please go to (link:"section 2")[(goto-url:"https://www.ipo.gov.uk/lambert-decguide-sect2.htm")] to consider whether to use Collaboration Agreement 4, 4A, 5 or 6. [[Return to start->So where to begin?]]

9. Is the collaborator's ownership of the IPR in the results irrelevant to the PI's other research projects or future research (that is, there will be no knock-on effect on the PI's other research or related IPR)? [[Yes->q8yes]] [[No->10th Question]]

10. Is the collaborator paying full economic cost plus profit? [[Yes->q8yes]] [[No->section2.1]]

This can be used to expand. Either we have each checklist as a seperate list all contained in one game. This maps out each possibility.
