'IP Aware' Series for Researchers Scheduled at UA This Spring
The University of Arkansas office for research and economic development is planning a series, "IP Aware," for the 2015 spring semester that will educate UA researchers about intellectual property and entrepreneurship.
According to the UA, the series will "provide individuals with the tools necessary to navigate issues associated with intellectual property, entrepreneurship, and industry-sponsorship. A potential participant will have completed a successful third year review or have been recently promoted to associate professor."
Expected outcomes of the program include:
- Completion of intellectual property disclosures that lead to successful patent applications
- Launch of a small business opportunity that fuels economic development
- Integration of industry-centric programs into a research portfolio of a faculty member
- Success in any of the three areas requires a basic understanding of the strategies, relevant policies, and procedures to facilitate these activities and a sound plan for action.
Associate or assistant research deans in their colleges or schools will nominate participants for the series, the UA said.
