does anyone have a policy regarding intellectual property that they would be willing to share

I'm not proud, what the heck is intellectual property?

Basically, intellectual property is anything I create, design or invent on the job. If I missed domething here someone correct me.

Great link, thanks.

We don't have issues with this (public employer) but here's a link you might find helpful.

Ouch. Public employees don't create, invent or improve? You're not helping on the stereotype front...

In the sense that we don't 'create' products, publish original writing, etc., we have no issues. We disseminate the intellectual property of others (after copyright).

Sheer exposure to such intellectual property makes us quite an intelligent, educated bunch.

Most universities have policies/forms relating to intellectual property. You might check the website of your local state university.

You may have found what you were looking for, I'm late reading and responding.

We have all of our employees sign an information agreement. This agreement covers information, materials, right of data, inventions, conflicts of interest etc.

We're a defense contractor so I don't know if our document would be overkill based on what you need. I'd be happy to forward a sanitized copy and you can revise it to fit your needs if you are still looking for a policy to protect intellectual property.

If you'd like to review the doc just send me your email address and I can send you a soft copy. My email is [email]hoggatt@infinity.aero[/email].
