If students develop Intellectual Property in solving a project in a “for credit” course using case-based learning based on externally-submitted (company, institute, or non-profit) problems, and: a. there is no agreement to the contrary, then the Intellectual Property belongs to the students. b. sponsors want to control Intellectual Property rights, then students can assign or license their rights by signing an appropriate agreement. A Student Intellectual Property Agreement with a Company Sponsor should be signed at the initiation of the project or activity. c. When required to assign their intellectual property rights, then it is the student’s choice to participate in projects and students must have options that allows them to complete alternate assignments for equal credit.
