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 a student in the course of his/her education, such as dissertations, papers and journal articles are owned by the student. 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.
