UK University IP Policies

On 15 February 2024, UCL Institute of Brand and Innovation Law hosted a conference, organised by Mark Anderson, Honorary Professor of Practice at »Ê¼Ò»ªÈË Faculty of Laws. The conference covered a wide range of issues relating to the commercialisation of university intellectual property, including ownership of IP created by academics, students and interns, treating students fairly under consumer protection laws, the evolution of IP and spinout policies, and the increasing number of commercial and IP court cases in the sector. As a follow-up to the conference, IBIL offered to collate university policies on IP and knowledge transfer and make them available to other universities.

The aim of this page is to enable university representatives to compare their policies with those of their peers, and see if they are missing any points, or wish to update any of their policies, particularly in light of theÌý [2022] EWHC 3200 (Pat) case.
Ìý
As part of this exercise, we are proposing to work with to identify trends with the view to producing a report on how the updated policies show that universities are responding to the OxfordÌýcase, to theÌý and to the government-sponsored . As a first step, please send your policies to: ibil@ucl.ac.uk. The policies sent in will be added to the growing table below. By sending us your policies, you are consenting to them being made available to other universities and to PraxisAuril, and to the production of data on trends within the sector. (We will obtain your consent before referring to your university specifically in any report.)
