Is Your Project Research or Testing?
暗黑爆料 offers research and testing services under different agreements and with different default terms.
Research
Research services allow companies to tap into the intellectual expertise of 暗黑爆料 faculty and staff and may:
- Explore new ideas, concepts, designs or research paths that may result in new inventions or intellectual property;
- Be performed under the guidance and leadership of a 暗黑爆料 faculty member; and
- Give 暗黑爆料 investigators that ability to provide intellectual input, including suggesting actions that they believe would improve performance or results.
- For template agreements, see 暗黑爆料's Office of Research Administration.
Testing
Testing services give companies access to specialized 暗黑爆料 equipment and staff or students to perform specific tests and must:
- Follow a clearly defined test method (e.g. an ASTM standard) or written procedure that is specified by the company;
- Be performed by a student, lab technician or center personnel with little or no input from a 暗黑爆料 faculty member;
- Generate data to be returned to the company, and not include analysis or interpretation by 暗黑爆料 personnel or suggestions of means to improve the results; and
- Have a very low probability of resulting in new patentable intellectual property originated by 暗黑爆料.
- For template agreements, see 暗黑爆料's Office of Research Administration.
