  • already known to LICENSEE or is rightfully received by LICENSEE from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality;
  • independently developed by persons without access to SYMYX's proprietary information.
  • LICENSEE may disclose proprietary information to the minimum extent required by a governmental entity or agency in connection with seeking governmental or regulatory approval, provided that reasonable measures are taken to prevent further disclosure, including without limitation, seeking appropriate confidential treatment or a protective order, or assisting SYMYX to do so.
  Note If the University terminates its agreement with SYMYX, UConn Users must
  • promptly discontinue all use of DiscoveryGate
  • remove DiscoveryGate and any and all portions thereof from all computers
  • deliver to SYMYX any and all copies of any media and any proprietary materials to Symyx that have been provided to LICENSEE, or destroy any proprietary DiscoveryGate components and documentation, and certify such destruction to SYMYX in writing, no more than fifteen (15) days following the date of termination or expiration.
