All CFIN funding applicants will also have to account for IP, particularly if engaging service providers such as consultants or academic partners to aid in the development of new intellectual property. All projects will be required to adhere to the same commitment as CFIN- RCIA in its contribution agreement: IP deriving from CFIN-RCIA projects, ownership rights and exploitation thereof, will remain in Canada for a minimum of five years (5) after the end of the project funding agreement unless otherwise approved in writing by the Minister on a case-by case basis. Our full IP Policy is posted in the library on our member platform, YODL.
