BOSTON COLLEGE AGREEMENT ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTYCollege Agreement • June 23rd, 2011
Contract Type FiledJune 23rd, 2011Boston College has adopted an "Intellectual Property Policy." That Policy, as amended from time to time, applies to all members of the University, including anyone who participates in externally sponsored programs. Also, Federal policy requires the University to obtain written agreements from any staff members paid, in part, by Federal grants that outlines their obligations for reporting and assigning inventions. In order to achieve consistency in applying the University's policies, it is the practice of the University to accept and execute sponsored agreements only if the Principal Investigator and other relevant employees and students have signed an Agreement on Intellectual Property. Further, it is the practice of the University to have individuals sign this Agreement only once and that such Agreements will be kept on file in the Office for Technology Transfer and Licensing.
