Limitations on publication | Before a researcher is allowed to publish his inventions the researcher must report his invention to the employer (i.e. The university) which then has the oppotunity of filing for a patent. However, if the university chooses not to patent, the right to publish, as well as the right to apply for a patent, returns to the researcher. The university must decide upon its actions within four months from that the researcher has reported his invention. |
