Core Data for Research & Development and Other Commercial Purposes

LIC provides data for Research & Development (R&D) and other commercial purposes. The core data represents an accumulation of data by the methods and systems developed by LIC over many years. It has a high intellectual property value.

As one component of the overall charge for core data set out in this methodology, LIC charges a royalty which is a percentage of the gross income derived from products and services developed using the intellectual property embodied in the core data. That royalty is charged in accordance with LIC’s licence terms and conditions (set out below) and the core data provided to any Applicant obtaining data for any research and development or other commercial purpose is provided on that basis. As set out in the licence terms and conditions, the royalty is not charged in respect of a use of core data for a purpose which is in direct competition with LIC’s Herd Recording, Herd Testing or Artificial Breeding Services.

Additionally, when the purpose of the application is clearly defined as Industry Good and is not in any way associated with competitive market related activity, LIC at its sole discretion may determine to sponsor such access as part of its contribution to the betterment of the New Zealand dairy industry.

In accepting the core data, the Applicant acknowledges LIC’s charging methodology and agrees to the following terms:
