Intellectual Property for Research (CSE/CMPH/CNHS)

Course description

Do you want a better understanding of how Intellectual Property (IP) is relevant to your research?

For researchers in the sciences and health and medical research fields the concerns about IP (typically, patents and confidential information) are very different to those in the humanities, creative arts and social sciences,(typically, trademarks and copyright).

Please join us for a discussion of IP within your research context. This session will be for researchers in the sciences and health and medical research fields. Researchers in the humanities, creative arts and social sciences should attend this session instead. 

In this session, the Commercialisation team at Flinders University will explore how to:

• the nature of your IP and options to consider in protecting it,
• the stage and context of your IP and options for progressing its development,
• potential commercial (or other) pathways for your IP to achieve broad impact,
• managing factors relating to students, funders, and external partners.

The session will also highlight commercialisation of different types of intellectual property and give an overview of the University's IP Policy, including how staff and students can benefit from IP protection.

Please note that no prior knowledge of IP is required to attend this session and you can bring your project to discuss with the team.  The Commercialisation team will engage directly with each participant regarding their IP and project. The many real examples of your colleagues will help broaden the knowledge of all participants

This session will be held in-person in Noel Stockdale room, Level 1, Central Library at Bedford Park. Rural and remote colleagues or those who are unable to attend in person, please contact researcher.development@flinders.edu.au.
