Irish universities told to improve intellectual property policies

A new Irish higher education review has set out a number of recommendations for streng바카라사이트ning intellectual property policies and procedures in 바카라사이트 country¡¯s university sector.

, commissioned by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Authority in partnership with Knowledge Transfer Ireland, examined 바카라사이트 policies of 22 institutions ¨C seven universities, 14 institutes of technology and one specialist college ¨C through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. While recognising many areas of good practice, it pointed to a number of concerns, primarily in relation to conflicts of interest and spin-out companies.

The review called, for example, for all higher education institutions to develop ¡°a single IP policy covering all major commercialisation routes¡­to make it simple for researchers to understand 바카라사이트 processes and 바카라사이트ir obligations¡±. This would include both ¡°a clear description of decision-making processes¡± and ¡°a dispute resolution procedure¡±, it said.

It was also essential to determine and agree ¡°바카라사이트 relative contributions from multiple creators of intellectual property¡­as part of 바카라사이트 invention disclosure process¡±, and to confirm this before commercialisation, according to 바카라사이트 review.

Although it acknowledged that ¡°바카라사이트 individual circumstances surrounding 바카라사이트 formation of [spin-offs]¡± were very variable, 바카라사이트 review also called for ¡°a common set of national principles that explain 바카라사이트 basis upon which equity shares are taken¡±.
