About this file
This document is an Intellectual Property Rights Attachment issued by the County of San Mateo Contract Compliance Committee on July 1, 2013, related to a potential Freight Management Services contract. The attachment comprehensively outlines the county's ownership and rights provisions for all "Work Products" created by contractors and subcontractors during the course of the agreement. Specifically, the document defines Work Products as any materials created under the agreement, including publications, reports, manuals, specifications, drawings, computer programs, software, databases, schematics, logos, graphic designs, and all forms of intellectual property.
The attachment establishes that the County of San Mateo shall exclusively own all titles, rights, and interests in Work Products, with contractors prohibited from selling, transferring, or permitting use of these products without explicit written county consent. The document requires contractors to assign all intellectual property rights to the county, including ensuring that subcontractors are contractually bound to these terms. In cases where work might not be considered "work-made-for-hire," the contractor must still assign all rights to the county, with the county agreeing to cover any necessary filing fees for assignments or transfers. The attachment applies to the potential Freight Management Services contract for San Mateo Medical Center, though specific contract details beyond intellectual property provisions are not included in this document.
