As required by federal regulation, all individuals supported on sponsored projects, including graduate students, must acknowledge the University’s intellectual property policy, which states that title to technology resulting from research, work, or study supported by externally sponsored or University allocated resources belongs to Syracuse University.
See the Faculty Manual, Section 3.23 for more information on the Ownership and Management of Intellectual Property.
