Ownership Open research = UH’s own funding, foundations ownership is not defined in research contract INVENTOR (researcher) owns Contract/ collaborative research = Funding from Tekes, EU, Academy of Finland, companies ownership defined in research contract UNIVERSITY OWNS INVENTION DISCLOSURE HAS TO BE ALWAYS SUBMITTED! Tutkimuksen toimiala
12
WHY? Tutkimuksen toimiala
13
So, what is needed to know...
UH’s invention guidelines Invention disclosure Notification to invention disclosure Disclosure forms and guidelines: Tutkimuksen toimiala
14
UH’s invention guideline
OWNERSHIP = BENEFITS + RESPONSIBILITY Quality over quantity University’s resources to cases with commercial potential and committed reseacher Reward according to net proceeds Tutkimuksen toimiala
15
So, what should I do? Invention disclosure – as soon as you have an idea Fill in the disclosure form Sign the form Send the form to HIS Tutkimuksen toimiala

Tutkimuksen toimiala
17
Processing disclosures at HIS
Formal check Request for additional information Definition of ownership according to University Invention Act and information provided HIS has to send notification within 2 months from the date the invention disclosure has been accepted Tutkimuksen toimiala

rights will be transferred to the researcher regardless of research funding mentioned ..researcher is not utilising or publishing results arising from open research within 6 months, university can ask for the rights to the invention Tutkimuksen toimiala

Tutkimuksen toimiala
26
Utilisation plan - Approbatur
What? Solution for a problem For whom? Who needs the solution (and is willing to pay) Why? Superiority to existing methods How? How will solution meet and match market need? Tutkimuksen toimiala
