INVENTION DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

Thank you for your interest in submitting a product idea. Franklin Sports receives unsolicited ideas from many people outside of our company. Franklin Sports is continually engaged in product development and new product activities and your submission may already be the same or similar to ideas otherwise known to our company, or may already be patented by another party, or may be in the public domain. To avoid any misunderstanding, we are willing to consider such ideas only upon your acceptance of the following terms and conditions.

The submission shall be entirely in writing or in tangible form such as a sample or model.

If the submission is the subject of an issued patent or pending patent application, a copy of such patent or application should be provided.

You should retain the original or copy of your submission since we are not obligated to return any unsolicited material submitted to us.

We will advise you if Franklin Sports has any interest in the submission, but we are not required to report any reasons, details or results of our evaluation.

No confidential relationship of any kind will exist or arise between us and no obligation of any kind is assumed by Franklin Sports with respect to your submission or its use, unless a separate formal written contract has later been entered into between Franklin Sports and you.

Our indication of interest to purchase or otherwise negotiate for rights to your idea shall not prejudice Franklin Sports nor be deemed to be an admission of the novelty, originality or usefulness of the idea.
