Academic research must be limited to Fundamental Research. Fundamental Research is basic or applied research in science and engineering, where the resulting information is ordinarily published and shared broadly within the scientific community. Research can be distinguished from development, design, prototyping, production, and product utilization associated with proprietary research, industrial development, or commercial purposes, where the results are ordinarily restricted for proprietary or business reasons.
None of the designs and out output generated or validated through the use of the Cadence software may be licensed, sold, assigned, or otherwise commercial exploited by users of Cadence software at CNF or nor by any third party. Prototypes of designs may be used solely for evlauation evaluation and measurement purposes and shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, or otherwise commercially exploited.
Output and designs may be disclosed to specific Academic Foundry Services as determined by Cadence (a list of approved services in our license agreement with Cadence is available upon request). Requests made to Cadence to permit access by other foundries may be granted on a case by case basis at Cadence's sole discretion.
