In exchange for my participation in research at WSU, opportunities made or to be made available to me to use WSU funds, facilities, or other resources, and/or other valuable consideration, I hereby agree as follows:

- 1. I understand that, consistent with applicable laws and regulations, WSU is governed in the handling of intellectual property by its official policies as set forth in the WSU Faculty Manual and the Executive Policy on Intellectual Property (“WSU Policy”), and I agree to abide by the terms and conditions of WSU Policy (as it may be amended from time to time in the course of my WSU activities).
- 2. I will disclose promptly to WSU all inventions, copyrightable materials, computer software, semiconductor mask works, tangible research property, and trademarks conceived, invented, authored, or reduced to practice by me, either solely or jointly with others, which either (i) result from the significant use of WSU administered funds or WSU facilities as defined in WSU Policy, or (ii) are developed in the course of or pursuant to a sponsored research or other agreement in which I am a participant while at WSU (hereinafter “Intellectual Property”).
- 3. I understand that inventions previously conceived, even though a patent application has been filed or a patent issued, are subject to this Agreement and I will disclose to WSU immediately if previously undisclosed or inadvertently undisclosed if they are actually first reduced to practice or constructively reduced to practice under the circumstances described in paragraph 2.
- 4. [Choose one as applicable. If none apply, contact the WSU Office of Commercialization.]
- ☐ I have no conflicting obligations to another employer regarding the disclosure and assignment of intellectual property, and I hereby assign all rights to all such Intellectual Property to WSU.

- ☐ My employer is a for-profit organization sponsoring research at WSU (see ORSO Sponsored Project Agreement Number: , dated ). I hereby assign jointly to my employer and WSU all rights to all Intellectual Property conceived, invented, authored, or reduced to practice by me in the performance of the research defined under the Sponsored Project Agreement either (i) jointly with employees or students of WSU or (ii) with significant use of WSU- administered funds or WSU facilities as defined in WSU Policy, whether solely or jointly with others.
- ☐ My employer(s) is(are) a for-profit organization(s) and owns all Intellectual Property created within the scope of my employment with that employer. Such Intellectual Property is created without using any WSU resources and outside the scope of my affiliation with WSU. And, in addition, I hereby assign to WSU all rights to all Intellectual Property conceived, invented, authored, or reduced to practice by me in the performance of the duties defined under the Adjunct Teaching Faculty appointment with WSU either (i) jointly with employees or students of WSU or (ii) with significant use of WSU-administered funds or WSU facilities as defined in WSU Policy, whether solely or jointly with others.
