uEmployees must disclose all inventions
u“The University must be able to meet its obligations assumed under legally binding contractual obligations with regard to intellectual property rights generated by faculty and other researchers as a result of sponsored research agreements, material transfer agreements, and other research support agreements entered into on behalf of those faculty and research staff.  Therefore, all inventions made by a University employee must be disclosed to the University, including inventions made on weekends, on leave, at home “in the garage,” or during paid or unpaid consulting work.  Disclosure is a legal obligation of employment at the University.”
