How Universities Handle Inventorship and IP Rights for Student Inventions. Ep. 168
About this episode
This episode discusses how universities manage inventorship and IP rights for student inventions and the implications for students.
If you're a student with a big idea, here's a question that can catch you completely off guard: do you actually own your invention, or does your university? In this episode, we unpack how universities handle inventorship and IP rights for student inventions, why the answer depends heavily on where you go to school, and how a class project or lab access can quietly change ownership. Whether you're building a startup in your dorm room or collaborating with professors, this is a must-listen before you assume your invention is really yours.
