Having a clear understanding on rights to intellectual property (IP) is paramount for MIT researchers, including undergraduates.  In what instances might the Institute own an undergraduate’s IP?  When must undergraduates sign MIT’s Inventions and Proprietary Information Agreement (IPIA)?  What are the implications of signing MIT’s IPIA?

This workshop offers an overview of IP policy and processes at MIT, and its implications for undergraduates contributing to discovery through UROP and other MIT-sponsored intellectual endeavors.  Geared to principal investigators, administrators and students; open to members of the MIT Community.
