Patents & Copyrights for UT Researchers
In the space between “what starts here” and “changes the world,” researchers at UT Austin routinely face some of these questions: · I think I invented something. Now what? · How do I get a patent? How much does it cost? Who pays? · I wrote some software as part of my research, and I want to release it. What does UT recommend? · I don't want to delay publishing papers. Can I still get a patent? · How can UT help with startups? Join us at Catapult IP@UT: Workshops for UT Inventors to get answers to these questions and more.
When: Thursday, July 12, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Where: Campus Dining Room (1.210), Commons Conference Center at J. J. Pickle Research Campus, 10100 Burnet Rd., Austin, TX 78758 Who: Any interested UT researcher (faculty, staff, grad students, & postdocs welcome!) Cost: The event is free with RSVP. Paid parking (free with any valid UT permit). |
OTC welcomes all UT faculty, researchers, postdocs, graduate students, and staff. Feel free to bring your lunch and any questions you have about patents, copyrights, intellectual property, licensing, and commercialization! Please feel free to forward this invitation.
