User Submissions
Canon is not obligated to accept or consider any ideas, suggestions or materials, including ideas for new advertising campaigns, promotions, products or technologies, processes, materials, from the public ("Submissions") and hence you are not encouraged to submit any Submissions to Canon in any Communications through this Canon Website or otherwise. To protect Canon and its parent company and affiliates interests, and to avoid potential misunderstandings or disputes in the event that Canon's products or marketing strategies might seem similar to ideas submitted to Canon, Canon does not solicit Submissions or agree to receive any confidential information from persons or entities outside the Canon group of companies. We can only accept ideas from the public if a patent already covers the proposed idea, or if not issued as a patent, is public information. Nonetheless, if you do send Canon a Submission that has not been patented or is not public information, it immediately becomes the property of Canon and Canon shall exclusively now and hereafter own all rights, title and interest therein. However, Canon is free to use, without any compensation to you whatsoever, any concepts, ideas, know-how or techniques contained in any such Submission for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, manufacturing, and marketing products using such information. Canon shall not be liable for such use or disclosure of such Submission or for any similarities in the Submission and any future Canon uses or activities. If you are uncertain as to the meaning or implication of the terms and conditions concerning Submissions, you are advised to consult your attorney.
