How do I get an IP agreement?
Contact the Contract and IP specialist in OSP. We will help you to determine what type of agreement is necessary. We have a set of templates that have already been approved to help the process along.
Often Sponsors will have their own templates. The agreement should be forwarded to OSP as soon as it is available. The Contract and IP specialist will review the agreement and negotiate any problematic terms and conditions.
After all parties come to agreement, agreed upon changes are made and the agreement is forwarded to the appropriate sponsor representatives for signature.
ONLY the President of the university, Vice Presidents, and those with written delegated authority may sign contracts, including IP agreements. Bill Covington and Scott Erwin may sign most contracts and agreements.
After all signatures are received, accounts are set up as needed and the project may commence.
