R&D
Refers to creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of
knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of
knowledge to devise new applications.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Is the process of sharing of skills, knowledge, technologies, methods of manufacturing, samples
of manufacturing and facilities among the institutions to ensure that scientific and
technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users who can them further
develop and exploit the technology into new products, processes, applications, materials or
services.

AGREEMENTS
Every agreement is unique, reflecting the particular needs and expectations of parties
Agreement = Offer + Acceptance
CONTRACT
The Indian contract Act 1872, Section 2(h) defines the term contract as an agreement

CONTRACT
◦ Agreement and its enforceability constitute a contract
◦ A contract necessarily creates a legal obligation
◦ All contracts are necessarily agreements.
◦ Contract is concluded and binding on the concerned parties
LEGAL RULES AS TO OFFER
• Certain and unambiguous terms
• Intention to create legal relationship
• Different from an invitation to offer
• Proper communication
• No term of non-compliance of which amount to acceptance
• Communication of special terms
• Different from a mere declaration of an intention

TO CONCLUDE
• The more everything is spelled out, the less confusion about what you're agreeing to.
• Being specific helps to avoid misunderstandings, which can escalate into bad feelings and
enmity where there was originally trust and collaboration.
• Clarity in an agreement provides an outline for your work or activity.
