  1. Status of the MicroMegas License RD51 Miniweek, CERN 15 June2012 Hartmut Hillemanns, CERN

  2. Ultimate goal: enable industry to produce large area high quality µM • Future HEP experiments require the possibility to purchase large quantities of µM detector elements at reasonable costs and with sufficient quality • Transfer of knowhow and expertise to industrial partners • Training on state-of-the-art production technology • Consultancy on the setup of production infrastructures • Support for production and quality assurance • Exploitation of µM technologies requires a license on the relevant IP: • CEA and CERN need to agree on the terms and conditions of the use of this IP • Such terms and conditions are set out in a co-ownership agreement currently finalised between CERN and CEA RD51 Miniweek, CERN, June 15, 2012

  3. General IP Situation • Intellectual Property related to MicroMegas in part jointly owned by CEA and CERN: RD51 Miniweek, CERN, June 15, 2012

  4. Some generic terms and conditions • Recent patents owned jointly (50/50) by CERN and CEA • Each party has the right to use all patents for their internal R&D purposes: • no royalties whatsoever for RD51 and related experiments • Each party is entitled to grant a non-exclusive license for the use on: • CEA owned µM patents • Jointly owned µM patents • Each party can grant a non-exclusive and royalty bearing license on the patents for the purpose of manufacturing, using and commercializing products: • Manufacture and use of µM’s; • Commercialize µM detectors with an attached sub-license allowing its acquirers to use and manufacture µM’s and µM-based Products; • Manufacture, use, and commercialize µM-based Products incorporating µM’s manufactured by the Licensee. • License conditions will be very close to the standard GEM license RD51 Miniweek, CERN, June 15, 2012
