Is the MRC responsible for the Intellectual Property (IP) rights?

No. The MRC does not deal with IP rights to research funded on grants (for extramural research). The research organisation will have to handle this with the industrial collaborator (taking care to retain IP rights themselves). The MRC needs agreement and confirmation that the data generated from this research can be placed in the public domain within a reasonable timeframe.
