Do I need to declare intellectual property (IP) in a COI declaration if I have already disclosed it in a Form 1?

Yes, you must declare it again, but only if there are new circumstances that may give rise to a real, apparent or potential conflict of interest situation as a result of your role as an inventor of NRC IP. If you have new authority or influence in NRC decision-making that could result in personal financial benefit to you, this situation must be declared. For example, you should make a COI declaration if you are participating in a Research Centre IP Committee and, at the same time, you are an inventor and could potentially receive a personal financial benefit under the Intellectual Property Awards Policy from a decision or recommendation of the IP Committee. This conflict of interest is mitigated by the IP Committee Terms of Reference process for managing conflicts of interest, but is also mitigated by declaring this IP in a COI declaration.
