Contractual allocation of ownership and maintenance rights
This subject represents the CDDP software and intellectual-property rights described in a disclosed contractual variation. The terms place ownership of new intellectual property and specially written software with the supplier, accompanied by a perpetual government licence.
Appendix C aligns two call-offs with G-Cloud 12 arrangements effective from 11 April 2022, retrospectively and prospectively. It permits authorised contractors to use, adapt and modify the software to serve the buyer. They cannot exploit it for unrelated commercial benefit or build a competing commercial product from it. The buyer must address evidenced misuse and sustained breaches under the stated conditions. These are obligations in the disclosed terms; the record does not show exercised enforcement or completed maintenance transfers.
Faculty102548 variationNo2 — disclosed copy → CDDP retained licensed IP
PDF101-102 and AppendixC110-112 align this call-off with G-Cloud12 effective11April2022, retrospectively and prospectively. New IP and specially written software shall be supplier-owned and licensed, not assigned. This changes the stated allocation; it does not establish that earlier ownership necessarily remained unchanged.
UK Department for Science,Innovation and Technology → CDDP retained licensed IP
AppendixC1-7 provides a buyer licence and authorised third-party use. The buyer must investigate evidenced misuse, use reasonable endeavours to secure correction and terminate the applicable sublicense for sustained breach, subject to procurement rules. These are terms, not observed exercises.
Faculty Science Limited → CDDP retained licensed IP
AppendixC1 says the new IP/software shall be owned by the supplier, not assigned to the buyer, subject to a perpetual licence. This differs from technical direction. Execution is not established from the uncompleted visible copy; no absolute supplier veto is inferred.
Buyer-authorised CDDP contractors → CDDP retained licensed IP
AppendixC4-5 permits use, adaptation and modification for buyer services. Third parties cannot exploit the IP for unrelated commercial benefit or build a competing commercial product from it. Permissions and limits are not proof of actual deployment.
