Who Owns Intellectual Property at MIT? Navigating the MIT IP Policy

Per MIT Policy, the Institute owns some of the intellectual property that is created during research at MIT. Having a clear understanding of the what, why, and the implications of this Policy is paramount. 

What does it mean for MIT to own intellectual property? What are the implications of signing the Inventions and Proprietary Information Agreement (IPIA)? How does this impact entrepreneurship and innovation at MIT?

This seminar offers an overview of intellectual property policy and processes at MIT and its implications for researchers contributing to discovery through MIT intellectual endeavors. Geared towards principal investigators, students, and other potential inventors; open to members of the MIT Community only.
