And again you unconditionally and completely agree with ...

Cisco and the Skolkovo Foundation announced the launch of a project for startups Skolkovo Innovation Award with the support of Cisco I-PRIZE. The slogan of the competition “It is time to act!”. Let's carefully read the content of the terms and conditions of this competition.
This document contains a lot of both simply weird points, and points that make it possible to fairly fairly seize your intellectual property. Moreover, since the document is formulated extremely vague, it seems that you agree to share almost everything you have with Cisco. There are also errors.

So the points:

3.1 (1) the use of technology in healthcare energy saving; (2) the use of technology in health care and (3) information technology ("Competition Categories") according to the descriptions given on the Site.

There seems to be a typo here.

4.4 All Applications (and related information) must be received and evaluated in the USA.

This item is mysterious.

7.1.7. Your Application does not contain anything prohibited by these Terms and Conditions, including but not limited to illegal or harmful content, content that threatens or violates private property, is offensive, defamatory, libelous, vulgar, offensive, sexually explicit, obscene, causing racial hatred, or content that is undesirable for other reasons;

Content that is undesirable for other reasons. For which others?

Here begins the most delicious:

The sponsor can order the development of your idea or do it yourself.

As a result, all these subtleties somewhat reduce the value of the competition to the public. It would be wonderful if Cisco relaxed the requirements for the transfer of intellectual property rights. No one, of course, doubts the honesty of this esteemed company, but the contract is a contract.
