Lecturing for a Pharm company - questions

[POS23]

Members don't see this ad.

I am a practicing physician and a pharmaceutical company is recruiting me for a paid task. They are asking me to give a lecture on their behalf about a certain disease process. I have so far given a conditional yes - pending to sign the contract.

It is for a limited time only (3 sessions). As I was reading the draft, the print below states that I relinquish all intellectual property rights to them as far as my live/ recorded lecture/s is/ are concerned.

Is this pretty standard?

First time I am doing this.

Thanks for any info!

If you work at a University/Academic Medical Center, the University owns your IP, not you and you can't transfer that IP to them. The University might be able to license to them as first right. If you are in PP, then the work by pharma is work for hire and they will own what you do for them. That is standard procedure.

this is standard, but if you are in academics you usually need to get the university to sign off on the consulting contract.

You don't need to include any IP that is yours (if you have any that you would lecture about); and if so you can add that your own IP remains your own. That statement is to protect their own IP and allow them to use the lecture without restrictions
