IP Protection
Are there any changes to the process of filing new Intellectual Property (IP) Disclosures with the Office of Technology Transfer (OTT)?
Many times the submission of an IP Disclosure (IPD) to OTT is time sensitive, due to prior publication dates. It is imperative that OTT protect the IP/patent rights while still making sure the department and college/schools are informed. All IP Disclosures are to be submitted electronically to OTT, with a copy being sent to either the Department Chair or School/College Dean, for review and signature, and then forwarding to OTT. If a signature is not possible, an email acknowledgement from the school/dept. is acceptable.
Will OTT continue to file provisional and non-provisional U.S. Patent Applications, and manage pending U.S. Patents applications to protect the University's IP/patent rights?
Yes. Under Morgan's IP Policy, the OTT has day-to-day responsibility, on behalf of the University, to make determinations of ownership of Intellectual Property and to manage, protect and commercialize University-owned Intellectual Property.
I-Works and I-GAP Grants
Will my existing I-GAP Grant end date be extended?
Due to the disruption in Morgan operations, existing I-GAP Awards will be extended.
Can I apply for new I-GAP funding for my innovation for FY 2020 funding? For FY 2021 funding?
OTT will still accept new I-GAP applications for FY 2020 and FY 2021. However, the issuance of awards will be based on the availability of funding, and any university restrictions for the remainder of FY 2020 and for FY 2021.
