Brookhaven uses a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) when a partner and the lab intend to collaborate on a project. It protects a company's and Brookhaven's existing intellectual property and provides a framework for newly developed intellectual property during the project. It also allows the company to negotiate for an exclusive field-of-use license to subject inventions that arise during the CRADA's execution.
