Eager Researcher Signs Away Intellectual Rights Despite University Refusal
What is this about?
This case is about intelectual property rights and conflict of interests in responsible conduct of research. A long-standing rapport with an independent company has status and financial perk for a university researcher. Before the company signs a contract with the researcher’s university, the company asks the researcher to waive his intellectual property rights. The researcher concedes against the wishes of the university.
