  • Confidential Information and Intellectual Property will at all times remain, as between the Parties, the property of the Party from where it originated. Except as may be expressly provided herein, nothing in the Agreement shall be construed to grant to Parties any rights or licences to use the Confidential Information or Intellectual Property.
