Any Intellectual Property, reports, correspondence and other like information prepared or made available by the Licensor or, as the case may be, the Licensee in connection with this Agreement shall be regarded as being confidential as between the Licensor and the Licensee except where disclosure of such information is specifically required to be made by the Licensee to any local or territorial authority (or equivalent authorities pertaining to the jurisdiction the Licensee is based in) as part of the Licensee’s building consent application process (or any equivalent processes pertaining to the jurisdiction the Licensee is based in).
