Without further consideration, all Inventions and Data developed by Consultant under this Agreement, are and shall remain the property of Intevac, its successors or assigns, or its nominees, whether or not Intevac obtains patent or copyright protection thereon, and regardless of whether such Invention or Data was developed solely by Consultant.

Consultant shall, without further consideration, promptly disclose all Inventions and Data to Intevac or its nominees. Consultant shall assist Intevac and its nominees to procure and/or maintain patents, copyrights and trade secrets throughout the world on said Inventions and Data, and to record the existence of the right, title and interest to said Inventions and Data in Intevac, its successors or assigns, or its nominees at Intevac’s expense, in every proper way, including signing papers.
