Who owns the rights to intellectual property from research?
NSERC does not retain or claim any ownership of, or exploitation rights to, intellectual property resulting from your NSERC grant. Any right to this intellectual property is governed by your university’s policy. However, as NSERC’s role includes promoting the use of knowledge to build a strong national economy and improving the quality of life of Canadians, every effort should be made to have the results of NSERC-funded research exploited in Canada, for the benefit of Canadians. Within this framework, NSERC also expects access rights to be granted to an industrial partner in recognition of, and in proportion to, the company’s contribution to an industrial collaboration. Consult your university research grants office or industry liaison office for guidance on this subject. Please see the Policy on Intellectual Property.
