lakehead implements intellectual property policy
the policy was developed to guide and apprise 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , staff, faculty, and the university community of the forms that intellectual property can assume, considerations which arise when deciding whether to protect original ideas, and issues related to intellectual property development by research teams.
"the ip policy sets ground rules and clarifies existing laws related to intellectual property," says barb eccles, manager of technology transfer at lakehead's innovation management office. "it establishes a strong and clear foundation that will encourage collaboration and communication among creators of intellectual property. it also facilitates the transfer of new ideas and products to the public sector when it makes sense to do so."
among other areas, lakehead's new ip policy covers areas such as inventorship, ownership (both copyright and non-copyright), distributed learning materials, graduate student work, commercialization, profit sharing, and dispute resolution.
the natural sciences and engineering research council of canada (nserc) encourages all universities to make intellectual property a priority so the rights and responsibilities of graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , faculty, and researchers are clearly articulated. when devising lakehead's policy, eccles and her colleagues reviewed several ip policies of other canadian universities to ensure lakehead's would be consistent and competitive.
