Student Agreement

In order to maximise the protection and commercialisation of Intellectual Property Rights created within the University as well as to safeguard the University’s contractual responsibility, we recommend that you transfer the ownership of your work to the University. In exchange for this you will benefit from a share of any income created by it through commercialisation. For detailed references please look at the University’s Policy on Intellectual Property, Confidential Information and Commercialisation.

To transfer your Intellectual Property Rights to Heriot-Watt University you are agreeing and signing the Student Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement, there is also a guide to the Student IP Agreement to assist you.
