Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property will mean individually and collectively, all forms of intellectual property including, but not limited to inventions, copyrightable works, trademarks, plant varieties, tangible research products, and know-how. In keeping with academic tradition, works created by students in the course of their education, such as dissertations, papers and journal articles are owned by the students. However, intellectual property created from activities related to an individual's employment responsibilities and/or with support from University-administered funds, facilities or personnel will be owned by the University. Ownership of intellectual property developed in the course of or resulting from research supported by a grant or contract with the federal government or state government or a nonprofit or for-profit nongovernmental entity, shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the sponsored grant or contract, or in the absence of such terms, shall be owned by the University.
