Rutgers Patent Policy for Students
Rutgers University encourages its students to be entrepreneurial and to seek out new and innovative solutions to existing challenges. Rutgers will disclaim ownership for all student innovations/intellectual property unless it is conceived or reduced to practice:
- (a) under a sponsored research agreement or other agreement with a third party;
- (b) within the scope of faculty supervised graduate thesis or dissertation work;
- (c) within the scope of the student’s employment with the University; or
- (d) with the significant
use of University resources. The “significant use of University resources”
refers to the use of University facilities that are not commonly available to
all
students.
Any questions regarding the above should be directed to Andrea Dick (andrea.dick@rutgers.edu) at the Rutgers Office of Research Commercialization.
