PATENTS POLICY. Research is recognized as an integral part of the educational process to generate new knowledge; to encourage the spirit of inquiry; and to develop scientists, engineers, and other scholars. As a result of such research, new discoveries and inventions may be made by faculty members of the University. Discoveries and inventions may have material commercial value or potential as revenue producers; may contribute significantly to scientific, technological, social, and cultural progress; and may qualify for patent protection. Patents are created by the Constitution and laws of the United States to recognize the ownership of inventions by individuals in return for the publication of the inventions by issued patents and ultimate dedication to the public after the limited period for which the law grants patent protection.
