Confidentiality & Intellectual
Property Agreements
If you are
participating
in a UROP
project taking
place off-campus
(including
the Broad
and Whitehead
Institutes),
you may be
asked to sign
agreements
related to
confidentiality
and ownership
of intellectual
property.
Please note
that signing
confidentiality,
intellectual
property,
or other agreements
will likely
prevent you
from owning
rights to
inventions,
processes
or techniques
that you develop
in your UROP
project, as
well as prevent
you from discussing
and writing
about your
research for
thesis, papers
and other
publications.
These types
of agreements
could also
conflict with
other commitments
made by MIT. The
UROP Office
strongly encourages
you to consult
with UROP
staff before
signing agreements.
In unusual
cases we may
have MIT counsel
review these
types of agreements.
For additional
information,
please contact

Associate
Dean, or Melissa Martin-Greene, UROP
Program Coordinator
