Yes, somebody said in one of our working groups that negotiation of IP clauses between partners often takes months, and the situation is normally worse when universities are involved. IP has no value until it's commercialized. The model that Ms. Mazurkewich referred to is a CRIAQ model, and that is a model that is negotiated up front between industry partners, meaning large firms--usually OEMs--smaller firms, and universities. The template is negotiated up front among all the partners, so this is not an issue of a university developing an IP and then transferring it or something; it's much more at the outset of the development of the research, and it's definitely collaborative among all of them.
