Situations may occur in certain courses where students are presented with the opportunity to participate in projects or activities in which the ownership of any resulting intellectual property must be assigned either to the University or to a sponsoring entity (such as a company) as a condition of the student’s participation. Students are never obligated to participate in activities that require the assignment of the student’s intellectual property to the University or to another entity. In these situations students will always be presented with an option of an alternative activity to participate in that does not require the student to assign their intellectual property to another entity.
