“(4)

Without limiting the provisions of subsection (3) of this section, where intellectual property belonging to the Crown under this section was devised or developed wholly or partly through the use of resources other than public money or public stores as defined in section 2(1) of the Public Finance Act 1977, the Minister may assign that intellectual property or any interest in it to the person or persons who provided those resources upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed.”
