SUBMISSION TO PATENT MANAGEMENT OFFICER. (A) Invention Outside the University. If an invention is made and/or developed without University support of a significant degree, all rights remain with the inventor. Such inventions may be voluntarily submitted for consideration by the University, but the inventor is under no obligation to do so. Provision of a salary or desk to an inventor by the University does not, in itself, constitute significant support. However, any invention by an employee related to an area in which he or she participates in research under University auspices must be reported to the University so that the question of whether the University has provided sufficient support can be decided by the patent management officer. This decision may be appealed to the system invention committee.
