Innovation

To create value over time, you must innovate.
Cefla's identity is the product of its history.

Cefla is one of the first twenty Italian companies to sign the preliminary agreement with the Italian Revenue Agency pursuant to the so-called Patent Box decree. This lets Cefla enjoy tax breaks as regards a significant part of its patent, trademark, drawing, and model-related portfolio and other intangible assets concerning the medical business.

The company owns more than 600 intellectual property items – which range from industrial patents (over 500) to design patents – all generated by a marked propensity to invest in R&D. This wealth of technologies, products and high quality services aimed at multiple market sectors goes hand-in-glove with long-standing traits that have seen the company excel in all its manufacturing operations.

The pride felt by those who belong to the present-day company owes much to those who came before us and entrusted us with the fruits of their labour.

  CEFLA S.C. (“CEFLA”), a company construed and existing under the laws of Italy, with registered offices at Via Selice 23/a, 40026, Imola (BO) – Italy, is pleased that you (the “Inventor” or “you”) have chosen to submit your idea to CEFLA. Before you may submit your ideas, suggestions and related materials (herein the “Ideas”), you must review and agree to the terms and conditions to this Idea Submission Agreement (“ISA”) as evidenced by your signature below.

If you DO NOT WANT to agree to be bound by this ISA, DO NOT COMPLETE your submission.

If you SUBMIT your Ideas to http://www.cefla.com/it/innovazione_cefla/ and http://www.cefla.com/en/innovation/ then YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THIS IDEA SUBMISSION AGREEMENT (ISA).

Submitting Ideas to CEFLA
  1.     CEFLA agrees to hold in confidence the Ideas disclosed to CEFLA by the Inventor and shall not use for its own use or disclose to others, except any information included in the Ideas which (1) has ceased to be secret, was or has become in the public domain without default on the part of CEFLA; (2) was already in CEFLA’s possession prior to disclosure by Inventor; or (3) has been received from a third party who did not acquire it in confidence.
  2.     To submit an idea to CEFLA, the Inventor must have full ownership of the Idea. If there is more than one inventor of the Idea, each inventor must read and sign this ISA and all references to “Inventor” and “you” in this ISA will be deemed to refer to such inventors collectively. Accordingly, the Inventor hereby confirms that: (1) the Inventor is the first and only inventor and creator of the Idea; (2) the Inventor owns all rights to the Inventor’s Idea; (3) the Inventor has not transferred or licensed such rights (or any interest therein) to anyone else; and (4) to the best of the Inventor’s knowledge, the Inventor’s Idea does not violate the intellectual property or other rights of any third party.
  3.     By submitting your Ideas to CEFLA, you are representing and agreeing that doing so does not violate any agreement or understanding you may have with another party, including other organizations, and former or current employers, or their policies and procedures or the like that govern you. Please do not submit an ISA and/or Ideas Box Submission Form or proposal describing your Ideas unless you are certain that you are correct in making this representation.
  Selection of the Ideas
  4.     After submitting an Idea, the Inventor will grant CEFLA an exclusive forty-five (45) day period of time to review and evaluate the Idea. If after the review period CEFLA will confirm its interest in the Idea, then CEFLA will ask the Inventor for a meeting to discuss the terms and conditions of an agreement for the commercial exploitation of the Idea. If CEFLA does not reply to the Inventor submission by the end of the 45-day period, then all rights in the Idea will revert to the Inventor and CEFLA shall have no further rights whatsoever in the Idea.
  5.     Any submitted Idea may be excluded from consideration in the sole discretion of CEFLA.
  6.     By submitting your Idea to CEFLA, you are representing and agreeing that you waive any claims of any nature including any claim for compensation, whatsoever arising out of your submission or disclosure to CEFLA.
  General Provisions.
  7.     This ISA must be signed by the Inventor and submitted to CEFLA prior to the Idea being considered by CEFLA. If the Inventor has not reached the age of majority in his/her country of residence (a “Minor”), this ISA must be signed on the Minor’s behalf by his/her parent or legal guardian.
  8.     Due to time and facility constraints, CEFLA may not be able to accept some or all submissions. No illegible, incomplete, forged or altered ISA will be accepted. CEFLA will not be responsible for late, lost, stolen, postage due, incorrect, misplaced, damaged or undelivered mail, notices, ISAs, correspondence, or Inventor prototypes. Moreover, CEFLA will not be responsible for missing or damaged prototypes, samples, and Inventor material once that material has been received by CEFLA. CEFLA makes all best efforts to ensure the safety of your material; however, on occasion, material may be lost or damaged during shipping and showing and CEFLA cannot be held responsible for loss or damage of any of the submitted materials. CEFLA recommends that the Inventor submits only duplicates of all material related to the Invention (including videos, prototypes, drawings, and the like). When, upon CEFLA’s approval, you submit original material, you will be required to include postage-paid return packaging with your submission. By submitting your Idea to CEFLA, you are agreeing that CEFLA has  no obligation to return to you any material you submit.
  9.     Taxes and fees, if any, and all expenses incurred by Inventor in connection with submitting an Idea, are the sole responsibility of the Inventor.
  10.  The Inventor understands and agrees that both CEFLA and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Affiliates”) are involved in the business of researching and developing many ideas for new products or services. CEFLA and/or its Affiliates may have independently conceived or previously received, or may receive from third party ideas similar or identical to the Inventor’s idea. Inventor agrees that submitting an Ideas Box Submission Form and/or an ISA to CEFLA, will not in any way limit CEFLA’s or the Affiliates’ right to use any such similar idea as CEFLA or the Affiliates deem appropriate and Inventor will not have any claim against CEFLA and/or any Affiliate with regards to any such use and CEFLA and/or Affiliate will owe no obligation or duty whatsoever to the Inventor if an Inventor’s idea is not licensed or acquired by CEFLA or any of its Affiliates and Inventor will not have no right to any claim against CEFLA and/or its Affiliates for any such use.
  11.  Your are agreeing that your Ideas are protected only to the extent that your Ideas are now or later protected under copyright and/or patent laws applicable to CEFLA or its Affiliates.
  12.  The Inventor agrees that CEFLA may, for purposes of documentation and review, at its discretion, photograph, videotape or otherwise record the Inventor, the Idea and/or the proceedings of submission process and Inventor releases CEFLA from any claim he/she may have for the use of the Inventor’s name and/or likeness in any such recordings.
  13.  By submitting this ISA to CEFLA you agree that the provisions of the ISA apply to any disclosure whatsoever that you may make to CEFLA or its Affiliates.
  14.  This ISA contains the entire agreement between CEFLA and Inventor concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements relating to such subject matter. This ISA may not be amended or waived except in a written document signed by CEFLA and the Inventor.
  15.  The ISA will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Republic of Italy, without reference to principles of conflicts or choice of laws.
