Nothing in this Agreement grants Data Recipient any rights to use the Data Set for commercial purposes. UCSF explicitly retains ownership of the Data Set and this Agreement does not restrict UCSF’s right to distribute the Data Set to other entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Data Recipient shall not pursue intellectual property rights which occur as a result of the use of the Data Set in the performance of the Study without first notifying UCSF so that UCSF can assert claims to legal inventorship under U.S. law.

This Agreement in no way alters any rights or interests of the U.S. government. 6.
