Agreement provides Intel with the right to enter into non-exclusive licenses for certain patents managed by UC Davis.

UC Davis and Intel Corporation (“Intel”) have signed a subscription agreement covering certain UC Davis patents.  Intel has an option to non-exclusively license patents covered by the agreement during a specified period of time and at a predetermined fee.  UC Davis retains the right to license these patents to other parties – either non-exclusively in any field of use or exclusively outside the defined field of use.  This agreement continues for five years, with successive five-year extensions subject to mutual agreement by Intel and UC Davis.

“Initiating this subscription agreement further extends opportunities for Intel to benefit from UC Davis’ world-class innovation in engineering and computer science,” said Dr. Dushyant Pathak, Associate Vice Chancellor for Technology Management & Corporate Relations and Executive Director of Venture Catalyst within the UC Davis Office of Research, “Our new agreement continues an already successful relationship between Intel and UC Davis, and we look forward to this as a springboard for further collaboration,” he added.
