Intellectual Property Policy

Policy R30.03 on Intellectual Property (IP) was approved by the SFU Board of Governors on July 22, 2004 and is in effect for IP created after that date.

A Creator who elects to Commercialize his/her IP must disclose such election in writing, as described in Appendix B, Commercialization Procedures. Disclosure will use the Intellectual Property Disclosure Form, Appendix C to the Policy.

The previous SFU policies are in effect for IP created before that date:

• Copyright Policy R30.01
• Patent Policy R30.02

All other policies pertaining to research at SFU are available here.
