The IP of the Ontario Parcel will belong to OPAC, the Government of Ontario and Teranet, based upon their contribution of source data and joint maintenance. If a municipality contributes data to the Alliance, which is used as part of building the Ontario Parcel, IP will be assigned to the Alliance for that portion of the Ontario Parcel, but the municipality will retain IP of its original data.
