Intellectual Property Policy

Overview:

This Policy aims to encourage originators of IP to be active participants in the systemic exchange and application of research findings and outcomes; to leverage the strengths of all parties, internal and external; and to ensure IP access and ownership arrangements are clear, fair and work to deliver optimal impact. This Policy supports the principles relating to the management of IP that are embodied in the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, and the National Principles of Intellectual Property Management for Publicly Funded Research. It also supports the University's strategic objectives, including fostering a culture that values and encourages knowledge transfer, and lifting end-user utilisation and commercialisation of the University's research.
