Clause 78 of the WIDP Contract identifies those parts of the Contract, known as "continuing rights and obligations", that are intended to survive expiry59 or an early termination. The Contract Manager should become familiar with these and the Contract Management Manual should list those parts of the Contract that will continue to apply after expiry, and state how these will be managed.
____________________________________________________________________________________
59 Clause 78 of the Contract only explicitly refers to early termination, and does not mention expiry. However WIDP's view is that certain provisions should continue to apply post expiry (e.g. intellectual property, confidentiality, etc). This is confirmed by the footnote to Clause 30.7 in SoPC4 on which Clause 78 in the WIDP Contract is based. This states that "The parties will need to specify those Contract provisions intended to survive termination or expiry of the Contract."
