When analyzing the application and determining the amount of Royalties to be paid to the Royal Canadian Mint, the Committee shall take into specific consideration the factors listed under point A and B below. Each factor must be considered in light of the others.

A. For new applications to reproduce Royal Canadian Mint property
Has the Application to use Royal Canadian Mint property been submitted by an individual, a company or the Government?

Does the Application relate to the use of property for a commercial, educational, educational/commercial or charitable purpose (e.g., use of a logo for publicity purposes and not educational purposes)?

If the Application is for use of property for educational purposes, how large is the target audience?

How many items will be reproduced (Final Product)? What will be their retail value?

How many Royal Canadian Mint property items are included in the Final Product?

For whom is the Final Product intended? Who is the target?

During which period will the Final Product be offered to the public?

For which market is the Final Product intended (e.g., provincial, national, international)? See section 6 of this agreement.

Applications shall be filed in the manner set out in Annex 1, by completing the set of questions. Applicants must send their answers to the address provided for this purpose within 10 (ten) days of receiving the set of questions if they want their application to be processed.

The Committee will analyze the answers to the questions once they are received.

The Committee will inform the Applicant of its considerations and decision.

The Committee will send a statement indicating the fees to be paid by the applicant.

The Applicant agrees to pay the Committee within 30 (thirty) days of being notified.

5. (1) for the purposes of section 4(B), the Applicant agrees to pay the Committee within 10 (ten) days of being so notified. If for any reason payment is not received before the deadline, the Committee reserves the right to undertake suitable measures of recourse in order to correct the situation.

Payments shall be made to:
Royal Canadian Mint
Intellectual Property Committee, Legal Services
320 Sussex Drive
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0G8

The transfer of rights to the Applicant shall take place once the Administration Fee has been paid in full. The RCM will not transfer any rights prior to receiving full payment from the Applicant.

If for any reason the Committee becomes aware that the Applicant is using RCM property prior to having paid the Administration Fee, the Applicant shall be subject to the provisions of section 5 of this Procedure.

B. For products already on the market without prior Royal Canadian Mint authorization
In all cases, the Committee must give its approval before any other party may use Royal Canadian Mint property.

If a Royal Canadian Mint employee or anyone else informs the Committee of unauthorized use of RCM property by a third party, the wrongdoer, whether an individual or an organization, shall be required to pay the Administration Fee and the Royalties, if any, and comply with this Procedure.

Should there be failure to comply with this procedure, regardless of when this failure occurs, the Committee will inform the Applicant that it intends to undertake corrective measures in order to remedy the situation.

The articles in Part A applies to this section with the necessary modifications.
