Research is recognized by the University of Dayton as an essential activity to develop new knowledge, encourage the spirit of inquiry, and promote scholarship in all areas of learning. As a result of such research, faculty members, professional and technical staff members, students, and visitors to the University may develop technology with commercial value. This technology could contribute significantly to economic, social, and cultural progress. The material set forth in the University of Dayton Intellectual Property Policy and Procedures document covers the ownership, management, and commercial development of technology developed by UD faculty, staff, students as well as others participating in UD programs. The term “technology” is broadly defined in this document to include technical innovations, inventions and discoveries, and writings and other information in various forms including computer software. The principal rights governing the ownership and disposition of technology, known as “intellectual property” rights, are derived primarily from legislation granting patent, copyright, trademark, and integrated circuit mask work protection. In general, the University of Dayton owns intellectual property created by faculty, staff, students, and others who participate in University programs and use significant UD funds or facilities. When the University commercializes an invention or another form of intellectual property, the net income is shared with the inventor/author. For additional information or if you have further questions, a complete copy of the University’s Intellectual Property Policy and Procedures document can be obtained by contacting the office of technology partnerships at the Research Institute, located in Kettering Laboratories, Room 503 or by visiting their Web site (http://www.udri.udayton.edu). |
