Goals and Principles. This policy reflects the following goals: • To create an environment that encourages the creativity of faculty, staff, and students. • To acknowledge and clarify the rights of faculty, staff, and students in their creations. • To promote and facilitate the generation and dissemination of new ideas, art work, inventions, and writings to the public. • To motivate the development and dissemination of intellectual property by providing appropriate financial rewards to creators and the School. • To provide opportunities to contribute certain intellectual property to the public. The policy is based upon the following principles: • Individual creators have traditionally retained ownership of intellectual property rights in works of art and academic writings they create. • The School provides resources to the entire campus community, and is therefore entitled to share in financial rewards from intellectual property created with such resources in certain circumstances. • All parties should have incentives to pursue financial rewards together, consistent with the expressed goals of the policy. The distribution of these rewards should reflect, insofar as possible, the creative contributions of the creator, and the resources contributed and risks assumed by both the creator and the School. • Since it is frequently difficult to meaningfully assess risks, resources and potential rewards, negotiated agreements are to be encouraged whenever possible.
