Is Your Project Research or Testing?
黄色直播 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 黄色直播 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 黄色直播 faculty member; and
- Give 黄色直播 investigators that ability to provide intellectual input, including suggesting actions that they believe would improve performance or results.
- For template agreements, see 黄色直播's Office of Research Administration.
Testing
Testing services give companies access to specialized 黄色直播 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 黄色直播 faculty member;
- Generate data to be returned to the company, and not include analysis or interpretation by 黄色直播 personnel or suggestions of means to improve the results; and
- Have a very low probability of resulting in new patentable intellectual property originated by 黄色直播.
- For template agreements, see 黄色直播's Office of Research Administration.
