Ownership

Ownership of intellectual property created by University employees in the preformance of their duties or created by anyone using University facilities, equipment, or funds, is governed by Article III of the University's General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure.

As the office entrusted with the stewardship of intellectual property created at the University, we often receive enquiries regarding ownership. You are always welcome to contact us with these questions. Other resources you may find helpful are our informational student ownership guidelines and the University Library's intellectual property ownership determination matrix.
