A right R-module M has right SIP (SSP) if the intersection (sum) of two direct summands of M is also a direct summand. It is shown that the right SIP (SSP) is not a Morita invariant property and that a nonsingular C + 11 -module does not necessarily have SIP. In contrast, it is shown that the direct sum of two copies of a right Ore domain has SIP as a right module over itself.Throughout this paper all rings are associative with unity and R always denotes such a ring. Modules are unital and for an abelian group M , we use M R (resp. R M ) to denote a right (resp. left) R-module.A module M R has the summand intersection (resp. sum) property, SIP (resp. SSP), if the intersection (resp. sum) of every pair of direct summands of M R is a direct summand of M R . The motivation for the study of these properties was provided by the following result of Kaplansky [5]: a free module over a principal ideal domain, PID, has SIP. This property has been studied by many authors including [1], [3], [4] and [9].Recall that a module M is called a C 11 -module (or satisfies C 11 ) if every submodule of M has a complement which is a direct summand (see [7], [8]). Following [7], a module is called a C + 11 -module if every direct summand of the module is a C 11 -module.
