Unsolicited Ideas
From time to time, Newell Rubbermaid does post specific requests for technology
and innovation challenges on our website under
Technology Assets on the “Our Company” page. There are several requirements
to responding to a technology request – for instance, your idea must be patented
or patent-pending with a published patent application, and it must specifically
relate to one or more of the listed areas of
Technology Interests. Detailed information on how to respond to a specific
request for information or innovation challenge is provided on our website. Responses
will only be reviewed if they are submitted in accordance with the requirements
on the specific request.
If you do send us any unsolicited ideas or suggestions, you agree that there is
no confidential relationship with respect to such information and that Newell Rubbermaid
has no obligation, including financial, to you in connection therewith. You expressly
disclaim and waive all rights in any such information or unsolicited ideas that
you submit to Newell Rubbermaid and agree that Newell Rubbermaid will be free to
use it in any way without any obligation or payment to you. Furthermore, you represent
that you are free to disclose such information and that no other party has any rights
in the information.
