Information session on Intellectual Property (ST)

The Tech Transfer Office and the Doctoral School of Sciences & Technology are organizing an information session on 'Intellectual Property'. Intellectual Property ('IP') is a legal term that refers to various creations of the mind: inventions, literature, artistic works, etcetera. When research evolves into a new idea with high market potential, Hasselt University looks into ways to protect the research result and assists with the commercialization thereof.

During your academic career, many questions will come to mind regarding your research: who owns the IP rights on your research results (you or the university)? What can be done to protect your results? In which circumstances should you (not) publish your research results? Can you use the IP of other parties? What should you do if you want to use somebody’s IP or share yours ? ...

In this session, an introduction in IP is given by Mrs. Julie Grouwels of the Tech Transfer Office. She will guide you through the do’s and don’ts for academic researchers in the particular field of IP.

Learning outcomes:

After attending this information session, participants are aware of...

• intellectual property issues in research,
• protection of research results,
• publication issues.
