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

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 and Rob Chalmers (Senior Lecturer, College of Business, Government and Law, who has an extensive background in IP and commercialisation from a practice and academic perspective) will explore how to: 

• Know what questions to ask and when,
• Be better prepared to engage with external partners,
• Understand the difference between IP and data, and
• Better support your research students with their IP needs. 

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.

This session will be held in person in the Noel Stockdale Room in the Central Library. Rural and remote colleagues or those who are unable to attend in person, please contact researcherpd.rds@flinders.edu.au.
