TRIANGLE must be informed of any commercial application arising from TRIANGLE program-supported activity.

The TRIANGLE program does not retain or claim any ownership of, or exploitation rights to, intellectual property developed with the support of TRIANGLE program funding. These are owned by the institution and/or the inventor.

Should the inventor decide to pursue commercialization of any results of the research funded by the TRIANGLE program, they must disclose to their institution any potential intellectual property arising from the research. They and the institution must make every effort to provide the greatest possible benefit to Canada from the resulting commercial activity.

The above requirement for disclosure is not intended to supersede any policy on disclosure that the TRIANGLE awardee’s institution might already have in place.
