conceived or developed internally, and to avoid possible future misunderstandings with you or others, Canon U.S.A.
does not solicit ideas, inventions, work samples, materials, demos, and the lik
e or agree to receive any conî ´dential
information from persons or entities outside the Canon Group. Canon U.S.A. maintains a strict policy of not accepting
or considering any creative ideas, suggestions or materials from the public ("Unsolicited Idea(s)") and therefore you
should not submit any Unsolicited Idea(s) to BICG through the Services or otherwise to Canon U.S.A. Canon U.S.A. does
not wish to receive Unsolicited Idea(s) from you and has expressly advised you not to submit them. If you nonetheless
intend to submit an Unsolicited Idea, Canon U.S.A. strongly recommends that you î ´rst consult an attorney in order to
evaluate the effect that submitting such an Unsolicited Idea would have on any rights that you might otherwise have.
Nonetheless, if you do send Canon U.S.A. an Unsolicited Idea that is not already protected by a United States patent or
is not public information, it immediately becomes the property of Canon U.S.A. By submitting an Unsolicited Idea to
Canon U.S.A., you agree to convey your ownership interest in the Unsolicited Idea to Canon U.S.A., and that Canon
U.S.A. will exclusively own all rights, title and interest therein. Furthermore, Canon U.S.A. and its designees will be free
to use, without any compensation to you whatsoever, any concepts, ideas, know-how or techniques contained in any
Unsolicited Idea for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, manufacturing, and marketing
products using such information. Neither Canon U.S.A. nor the Canon Group will be liable for such use or disclosure of
such Unsolicited Idea or for any similarities in the Unsolicited Idea and any future Canon U.S.A. or Canon Group uses
or activities.
