English term or phrase: brought
Is 'brought' below similar to "OWNED" or "POSSESSED"?

Thank you

contributed
Explanation:
It means that if one of the parties to the contract 'brings' intellectual property into the partnership (i.e. it is part of their 'contribution'), they will still keep their rights as owner of that i.p.

For the sake of clarity, it is self-evident that the party that \'brings\' the i.p. to the (partnership) must, by definition already be the owner of that right --- the context itself says that the right... \"shall remain the property of that Party\"

It is similar to owned because the purchase is going to be made BUT


Explanation:
in your text it is clear that the purchase may not yet have been fully carried out. Your text will teel you if the purchase has taken effect or if it is simply a potential purchase.
Something is owned once it has been paid for.

a party brings / contributes with a right. No need to own or possess it, just to be entitled to bring it (eg empowered)

  -> Well, we don't have more of the context to know what it's all about, but clearly 2 parties making some kind of agreement, so, for the purposes of explanation only, 'partnership' is not the term in question. Does that REALLY merit a 'disagree'?

agree  Elizabeth Lyons: This is the right answer; this is straightforward.

  -> Thanks, Elizabteh!

agree  Jack Doughty

  -> Thanks, Jack!

agree  Prisma: Yes and it is also important to identify that the text is from an MoU, which usually is an appendix to the contract outlining responsibilities between the parties.

agree  MPGS: While 'contributed' is the best term, I don't believe "that the party that 'brings' ...must, by definition already be the owner...". It would suffice to be mandated/authorized by her. :) ... OK . settled now? Rgds. :)

  -> Thanks, MPGS! Not by defintion, no -- but in the given context, it clearly states "remain the property of" implying therefore that it must already be so.... / Fair enough! :-)
