Collaboration is a time-honored academic tradition.
The Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) has noted a significant increase in invention disclosures involving non-SU innovators. That scenario may result in multiple entities (often the innovators’ employers) owning the invention. OTT manages the logistics of shared ownership.
The following resource provides guidance for innovators who have co-invented with a collaborator from outside Syracuse University:
Common agreements for collaborations are:
- Materials Transfer Agreements (MTA)
- Inter Institutional Agreements (IIA)
- Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA/CDA) – PDF Template of SU NDA/CDA
- Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)
