Typical Cooperation Models:
| R&D Model Name | Development Funding | Rights Ownership | Contractor's Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| R&D for Customer's Benefit | Customer - 100% | Customer - 100% | Performed by the Customer. The Contractor may continue to act as manufacturer and provide development support under agreed terms with the Customer (license agreement, service contract). |
| Joint Development | Customer and Contractor in agreed shares | Customer and Contractor in agreed shares. With Contractor's consent, the Customer may market R&D results as their own product without indicating Contractor's involvement in development and support. | Customer and Contractor jointly engage in commercialization of R&D results within the agreed R&D terms. |
| Development with Guaranteed Order | Contractor - 100% | Contractor - 100% | Customer places an order for R&D results in a minimum agreed volume that allows the Contractor to recover R&D costs. |
