Formal Notifications

• A new category has been added to the Inbound Formal Notifications pop-up in the F&T Portal so that beneficiaries can request the transfer ownership of results or grant an exclusive license (IPR)*. Once the receipt of the Inbound Formal Notification is acknowledged by the Project Officer, the beneficiary will be notified about it via a PNS. Any open questions from the EU concerning the submitted IPR request will be sent via the Formal Notification - EU Services initiated process.

* According to Article 44(3) of the H2020 Rules for Participation and Article 40(4) of the Horizon Europe rules for participation, beneficiaries are obliged to notify in advance the granting authority about their intention to exclusively transfer licences to non-EU countries that are not associated to the H2020 or HE programme respectively.

• If the visibility scope of the Inbound Formal Notification is set to "Only my organisations" and the beneficiary is present in more than one organisation, now there is also the option to select the organisations for which the communication is done.
