1 Summary

A rational, consistent and far-sighted approach to heating and cooling is critical for ensuring a genuine

energy revolution which will reverse unsustainable current trends and live up to the ambitious policy

expectations [1].

The InDeal Project will develop, among others, a Decision Support System that will manage the District

Heating and Cooling Systems (DHCS). Supporting tools will communicate with the DSS and will provide

important information including near real time weather forecast, near real time energy demand, stored

energy monitoring and control, as well as near real time energy consumption. A central web-based platform

will provide all this information to the end-users as a map of DHCS. Furthermore, in order to create a solid

and complete solution to this problem, InDeal will develop an optimum design of the piping system and

selection of insulating materials. This intelligent piping system will be equipped with sensors and artificial

intelligent smart meters supplied by Energy Harvesting.

The first part of Deliverable 7.6 describes in detail the 18 Results of the InDeal Project. Firstly, it provides

a brief Description, the relation to the Scientific Goal or Technical Objective, the Task that leads to its

development together with the Deliverable that includes it.

Additionally, Deliverable 7.6 lists the relevant Background (as this is defined in the Grant Agreement) for

each Result. Furthermore, the ownership of each Result is presented, based on the information currently

available, as well as the preferred -by the owner(s)- protection route (patent application, trade secret, no

protection). This chapter also summarizes the main benefits and disadvantages of the protection options.

Where relevant, in order to facilitate the exploitation plans, this Deliverable also lists the InDeal possible

product that will incorporate this Result. This serves to clarify which partners have ownership rights for

each product to be launched. These partners will also decide upon the exploitation route for the product.

The second part of Deliverable 7.6 lists the rules relevant to the ownership and joint ownership of Results.

It should be noted that as research progresses, it is possible that other -than those mentioned- partners of

the consortium will be contributing to the development of one or more Results. For this reason, this

Deliverable will be updated right before project end.

2 Introduction

This paragraph outlines the procedure that was followed to ensure that all partners have the opportunity to

comment, add and/or object with respect to the nature, the ownership and the type of protection of the

Results declared in this Deliverable.

As stated in the Grant Agreement[3] (Article 26.1 Ownership by the beneficiary that generates the results),

‘Results’ means any (tangible or intangible) output of the action such as data, knowledge or information —

whatever its form or nature, whether it can be protected or not — that is generated in the action, as well as

any rights attached to it, including intellectual property rights.

With respect to the collection of information that is needed for the development of the IPR Registry, a

Template in .xls form was created by CETRI and distributed to the partners completed with all the

information that can be derived after carefully reviewing the DOW, namely the list of Results, their short

description, their relation to the work structure, (WP, Task, Deliverable, Dissemination Level, Scientific

Goal/Technical Objective) and a draft entry about ownership.

The partners were then asked to add/delete accordingly on the above and add the following information:

Background IP, names of the partner(s)with whom they will be developing each Result (ownership), their

preferred IP protection route. In more detail, the owners have selected a patent application or a trade secret

for the protection of their Results.

Next, the updated information collected was crosschecked to ensure that there are no disagreements

between the partners. Relevant discussions were held via the internet when necessary. This Deliverable was

then drafted and communicated to the partners for their comments, additions and corrections. Once

finalized, this Deliverable was submitted to the PO.

The template used is presented in Figure 1. The first part of the template contains information with respect

to the nature of the Result, its relation to the work structure and relevant Background IP and knowledge.

The second part of the template contains information with respect to the Results Ownership and IPR

strategy.

Also, information is provided with respect and to the current and the expected Technology Readiness Level,

in order to provide a starting point for the exploitation plans.

3 InDeal Results

The present paragraph lists all the information about the Results that are being/will be generated during

the InDeal Project. The Results List is numbered based on the WP and Tasks, starting from WP2.

Definition of Background is given in paragraph 5 of this Document.

With respect to the preferred protection route for the Results, the partners had to choose between i) a

patent application ii) a trade secret and iii) no protection.

i) It has been clarified to the consortium that a patent is not a right to exploit, but a right to

forbid. It will give the inventors the right, for a limited period (20 years) on a territory, to

exclude others from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing the invention.

ii) Additionally, the option of trade secret has been considered by many partners, considering the

following advantages[5] (see relevant article by the World Intellectual Property Organization):

a) Trade secret protection is not limited in time, b) Trade secrets involve no registration costs

c) Trade secrets have immediate effect d) Trade secret protection does not require compliance

with formalities such as disclosure of the information to a Government authority.

However, a trade secret has a few disadvantages, especially when there are grounds for patentability of the

invention, as reverse engineering can help a competitor understand the trade secret that is embodied in an

product. Additionally, it is more difficult to enforce and there is always the risk that someone else might

apply for a patent for the same invention that he/she has developed.

iii) As required and stated in the Grant Agreement [3], the partners have and will further examine

the possibility to protect their Results and will adequately protect those that are expected to be

commercially or industrially exploited, if protecting them is possible, reasonable and justified.

The option of no protection is generally not advised, and also in Horizon2020 projects.

Paragraph 27.2 of the Grant Agreement [3] has also been taken into consideration, which states

that If a beneficiary intends not to protect its results, to stop protecting them or not seek an extension of

protection, the Agency may — under certain conditions (see Article 26.4) — assume ownership to ensure their

(continued) protection.

3.19 Categorization of InDeal Results.

Figure 2 below shows the categorisation of the Results of the InDeal Central Monitoring and Control

System. There are four main families, namely AI meters, Architecture, Central Monitoring and Control

Platform and Piping. Each family includes different Results and all 18 Results of the InDeal project are

presented as embodied in the possible products.

This serves to clarify which partners have ownership rights for each product to be launched. These partners

will also decide upon the exploitation route for the product. Ideas for possible products are presented in

the next chapter.

For example, the Central Monitoring and Control Platform (Result 18) can include the Decision Support

System and the Interface. Therefore, if this will be launched in the future as described in Figure 2, the

owners of the Results 1,9,10,11,12,13,15,16,17 will have ownership rights for the product ‘Central

Monitoring and Control Platform’.

Ownership of products is further analysed in the next chapter after listing the ownership and joint

ownership rules.


Figure 2. List of InDeal Results per category of the InDeal system


4 Ownership and Joint Ownership of Results and Products

For Results No 5,9,10,18 joint ownership rules apply.

The Consortium Agreement [4] has been signed by all partners on June 10th, 2016 and no revisions have

been made since.

Ownership rights listed in this Deliverable have been clarified based on the basic rule that applies in

Horizon2020 projects, i.e., Results are owned by the Party that generates them (see also, paragraph 26.1 of

the Grant Agreement [3], paragraph 9.1 of the Consortium Agreement [4]).

• According to paragraph 26.2 of the Grant Agreement [3],

Two or more beneficiaries own results jointly if: (a) they have jointly generated them and (b) it is not possible to: (i) establish the respective contribution of each beneficiary, or (ii) separate them for the purpose of applying for, obtaining or maintaining their protection (see Article 27). The joint owners must agree (in writing) on the allocation and terms of exercise of their joint ownership (‘joint ownership agreement’), to ensure compliance with their obligations under this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in the joint ownership agreement, each joint owner may grant non-exclusive licences to third parties to exploit jointly-owned results (without any right to sub-license), if the other joint owners are given: (a) at least 45 days advance notice and (b) fair and reasonable compensation. Once the results have been generated, joint owners may agree (in writing) to apply another regime than joint

ownership (such as, for instance, transfer to a single owner (see Article 30) with access rights for the others)

• According to paragraph 9.2 of the Consortium Agreement [4]

Joint ownership is governed by Grant Agreement Article 26.2 with the following additions: Unless otherwise agreed: - each of the joint owners shall be entitled to use their jointly owned Results for non-commercial research activities on a royalty-free basis, and without requiring the prior consent of the other joint owner(s), and - each of the joint owners shall be entitled to otherwise exploit the jointly owned including by granting nonexclusive licenses to third parties (without any right to sub-license), if the other joint owners are given: (a) at least 45 calendar days advance notice; and (b) Fair and Reasonable compensation. With respect to the Fair and Reasable compensation due to Parties which are Research Organisations, considering their specific positioning, “Fair and Reasonable compensation” necessarily means a financial compensation.

6 Conclusions

This deliverable lists in detail the methodology followed, all the Results of the InDeal Project, their

description and relation to the Work structure, the preferred by the owner(s) protection route, the possible

future products that incorporate them and ownership status. It has been found that InDeal will produce 18

Results, and joint ownership rules apply for some of them. The relevant rules as listed in the Grant

Agreement [3] and the Consortium Agreement[4] have also been presented in this document for consistency

reasons.

This deliverable will be continuously updated as the contribution of each partner to the Development of

each Result might change. Additionally, joint ownership cases will be examined to account for the case

where protection of separate Results cannot be achieved. Discussions on shares of joint ownership will also

take place taking into account the nature of the contribution of each beneficiary. An updated version will

be prepared and given to the consortium and the Project Officer just before project end. The Information

included in this Deliverable is currently being used for the development of the Technology Transfer Plan.
