Intellectual Property

网红头条 is dedicated to teaching, research, and the extension of knowledge to the public. Among its primary objectives are the creation and publication of intellectual property such as scholarly writings, artistic and literary works, and the development of new and useful devices, processes, and computer software. Such activities may:

  • Contribute to the professional development of the faculty, staff, and students involved;
  • Enhance the reputation of the University;
  • Provide additional educational opportunities for participating students; and
  • Promote the general welfare of the public at large.

More Information

  • Through individual effort and initiative, aided only incidentally by University resources, faculty, staff, and students can develop patentable inventions or written and other scholarly or creative works which may be subject to copyright, all of which may generate royalty income for the author and the University. Intellectual property can also result from work supported either partially or primarily by the University. When this occurs, the University has an interest in insuring and expediting the development, marketing, and utilization of the intellectual property. In some instances, intellectual property may become, in whole or in part, the property of the Board of Regents. At the same time, the rights, privileges, and incentives of the scholar(s) must be preserved.
