Systemwide Review of Proposed Presidential Policy on Inventions, Patents, and Innovation Transfer
The University of California Office of the President invites comments on a proposed Presidential Policy on Inventions, Patents, and Innovation Transfer. The Policy makes revisions to the existing UC Patent Policy in response to the Regents Policy on Innovation Transfer & Entrepreneurship, which provides that the responsibility, authority, and accountability for innovation transfer and entrepreneurship reside generally with the campuses. The revised Policy includes the following key changes:
  • Gives campuses authority over innovation transfer and intellectual property related decisions,
  • Addresses unpatentable innovations of interest to extramural sponsors and licensees that can generate commercialization income, and
  • Renames the policy to the Policy on Inventions, Patents, and Innovation Transfer.
The draft policy is posted here. If you have any questions or if you wish to comment, please contact Paula Johnson in Policy and Records Administration at policy@ucsd.edu no later than May 17, 2023.
