About this file
This is an Intellectual Property Rights attachment issued by the County of San Mateo Contract Compliance Committee, effective July 1, 2013, establishing ownership and control of work products created under county contracts. The attachment applies to the Reimbursement Consulting Support Services contract for San Mateo Medical Center, a public hospital and clinic system serving San Mateo County residents. The document establishes that all work products created by the contractor and its subcontractors—including publications, reports, manuals, specifications, drawings, computer programs, software, databases, graphic designs, and other intellectual property in any medium—are owned exclusively by the County of San Mateo. The contractor is prohibited from selling, transferring, or permitting use of any work products without express written consent from the County and must not dispute or contest the County's exclusive rights to the intellectual property embodied in these materials.
The contractor is required to assign all titles, rights, and interests in work products to the County and to cooperate in perfecting the County's ownership, including executing any necessary documentation. Work products intended to be copyrightable are designated as works made for hire, with copyright vesting solely in the County. Should any work product not qualify as work-made-for-hire, the contractor must ensure all personnel and subcontractors assign their rights to the County at no additional cost beyond the contract price, though the County will cover all filing fees associated with assignments, transfers, recordings, and applications. Prior to commencing any subcontract work, the contractor must incorporate this intellectual property attachment into subcontractor agreements to preserve and protect the County's titles, rights, and interests in all work products.
