Research Office Plans Intellectual Property Meetings
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Office of the Vice Provost for Research and Economic Development is planning a series of meetings for the spring 2015 semester to raise awareness of translating research into solutions that benefit society.
The series, titled “IP Aware,” will provide individuals with the tools necessary to navigate issues associated with intellectual property, entrepreneurship, and industry-sponsorship. A potential participant will have completed a successful third year review or have been recently promoted to associate professor.
Expected outcomes of the program include:
- Completion of intellectual property disclosures that lead to successful patent applications
- Launch of a small business opportunity that fuels economic development
- Integration of industry-centric programs into a research portfolio of a faculty member
Success in any of the three areas requires a basic understanding of the strategies, relevant policies, and procedures to facilitate these activities and a sound plan for action.
Associate or assistant research deans in their colleges or schools will nominate participants for the series. For more information, contact Bob Beitle, associate vice provost for research and economic development, at rbeitle@uark.edu with the subject line “IP Aware.”
