Ownership of copyrighted documents and data developed under a contract or promotion by a commercial sponsor is generally owned by the university.

In addition, non-UC employees authorized to use university research institutes are required to sign the university`s patent confirmation contract before using these institutions. This agreement requires the allocation of all inventions made in the context of university employment as well as all inventions made by non-UC employees using academic institutions. The university retains ownership of inventions developed by university staff as well as inventions of visitors using academic institutions, whether the research is funded by the university or by non-academic sponsors. The proponent of the research project that produces an invention may have the right to negotiate a commercial license. Licensing negotiations take place after the university researcher discloses an invention.
