Joint Efforts. A Faculty member and the University are joint owners of intellectual property only when they knowingly and voluntarily enter into a specific written agreement to create and use such intellectual property. This agreement defines the developmental obligations, the rights to revise and update, the conditions of use, the terms and compensation for subsequent use, and the ownership share of each party. A copy of this agreement shall be filed with the University Counsel, with copy to the Association when Faculty are party to the Agreement. Leaves, grants or awards supporting professional development and/or scholarly activity from the University Teaching Council, the University Research Council and the Faculty Professional Development Center, which are part of a Faculty member's duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, shall not be considered compensation for the purposes of establishing University ownership unless the stipulated purpose of the paid leave, grant or award is to produce a University-sponsored work. The transfer or rights to use intellectual property of Faculty shall not be a condition for access to an award for faculty professional development, nor is it permitted to be included in the evaluation process for competitive awards.
