Publications and Intellectual Property. 11.1 Researchers engaged in Center Research Projects shall be permitted to disclose the methods and results of their research after a review by the Members for intellectual property as outlined in the Membership Agreement.
11.2 At any time, a Site Director may request permission to publish Center information presented in summaries, semiannual reports, annual reports, or final reports; or arising out of or resulting from Research Projects; in the form of abstracts, presentations, or manuscripts. To receive permission, the Site Director shall submit a “Request for Permission to Publish” containing the information to be published in the form in which publication will be sought to the Members. The Request will be sent by email from the Site Director to the IAB Chair, who will forward to each Member. The information in the Request may be published in a substantial form (as submitted with the Request) if after thirty (30) days, no Member has objected in writing to the publication of such information. A Member may object if the publication contains patentable subject matter that requires protection and/or the publication contains Member’s confidential information. In such cases, publication will be delayed up to ninety (90) days to allow for patent applications to be filed or confidential information to be removed. It is understood that in no case can this provision for delay of publication cause an unreasonable delay in the normal academic progress of a graduate student at a University Site with respect to preparation and submission of a graduate thesis or dissertation.
