the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.
Generally, contracts allow investigators to publish study results per the protocol and publication plan. Investigators and Participating Institutions will provide any publication of Study Data generated by PI and/or Participating Institution to Medtronic for review prior to submission to determine if confidential information ("CI") is included and to check for technical correctness. Medtronic may not censor/interfere with the publication beyond the extent necessary to protect CI.
