1. (a)

   results shall not include any sideground, as tangible or intangible output generated by a participant under the action, such as data, knowledge and information whatever their form or nature, whether or not they can be protected, but which are outside of the action objectives as defined in the grant agreement and which therefore are not needed for implementing the action or for research use of results;

2. (b)

   each participant shall remain the exclusive owner of its sideground but a different allocation of ownership may be agreed upon;

3. (c)

   participants are not required to grant access rights to sideground.
