5. UNSOLICITED IDEAS

Canon U.S.A. and its parent company, successors, subsidiaries, affiliates and related entities (collectively, “Canon Group”) have been actively engaged in research and development in diversified scientific and business areas for many years. In order to protect the interests of Canon U.S.A. and the Canon Group in the ideas and information which have been 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 like or agree to receive any confidential 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 Canon U.S.A. through the Site or otherwise. 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 first 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 in connection with any future Canon U.S.A. or Canon Group uses or activities.

    • engaging in conduct affecting Canon U.S.A. or Canon Group adversely or reflecting negatively on Canon U.S.A., Canon Group, the Site, Canon U.S.A.’s or Canon Group’s goodwill, name or reputation or causing duress, distress or discomfort to Canon U.S.A., Canon Group or anyone else, or discouraging any person or entity from doing business with Canon U.S.A. or Canon Group; or
