Site Search Home Faculty Role IU's faculty is integrally involved in developing the university's policy on intellectual property. Faculty members also are important members of the Technology Transfer Advisory Committee and the ARTI board.
Technology transfer requires the commitment of both the university administration and the inventors.
A discovery can attain its potential only if the inventor is committed to the transfer process. The inventor is the expert, and commercial partners often require access to this expertise through sponsored research or consulting arrangements. Although Indiana University retains ownership of inventions arising from research and teaching at the university, the Intellectual Property Policy spells out the rights of inventors, including how any money made from inventions is to be shared among the inventor the inventor's campus, and the university.
