Assignment of
Intellectual Property
Upcoming
Implementation for Current Faculty and Staff
As of June 2015 Iowa State
University now includes an assignment of intellectual property in its
hiring documents to assure the University can meet its obligations
under the terms of sponsored research agreements and the Bayh-Dole
Act. The implementation of the assignment of IP for current faculty
and staff will begin this Spring.
A FAQ document regarding
assignment of Intellectual Property has been created and can be found
HERE.
If you have additional
questions regarding assignment of intellectual property that are not
addressed in the FAQ, please send them to kgoudy@iastate.edu so that Kate can compile a list of questions from
P&S Employees and we can get them answered.
