Statement on Intellectual Property for Inclusion in the 2011-2012 Student Handbook of Fisk University
The Intellectual Property Policy of Fisk University is a compilation of information and guidelines related to scientific research, discoveries, inventions, scholarship, and other creative activity by the University’s faculty, staff and students. This policy is designed and intended to foster and reward these activities, to define ownership of the related rights, to provide for their protection and management, to facilitate their utilization to the benefit of the public, the University and the members of the academic community, and to provide for the equitable sharing of any proceeds derived from their commercial exploitation. The policy is available for review at the Web site for the Office of the Provost, which is accessible through the University’s home Web page, at http://www.fisk.edu.
