Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Management Strategy for RE-INTEGRATE Project

This document, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), is an output produced within the framework of the RE-INTEGRATE project, funded under the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme (Grant Agreement No. 101118217), and linked to the project's Data Management Plan and its revisions (Deliverable 6.4 to 6.6).

The document outlines the intellectual property rights (IPR) management strategy for the project, ensuring compliance with Horizon Europe’s open-access mandates, GDPR, and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data principles.

The IPR policy aims to balance the protection of intellectual assets with the need for open knowledge dissemination. Key topics covered include ownership and licensing of intellectual property, confidentiality and data security, enforcement and conflict resolution mechanisms, and strategies for the management of software, computational models, and long-term data preservation. The document also details the procedures for licensing project outputs under Creative Commons (CC BY 4.0) and other open-access frameworks to promote transparency and collaboration.
