Is Your Project Research or Testing?

午夜神器 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 午夜神器 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 午夜神器 faculty member; and
Give 午夜神器 investigators that ability to provide intellectual input, including suggesting actions that they believe would improve performance or results.
For template agreements, see 午夜神器's Office of Research Administration.

Testing

Testing services give companies access to specialized 午夜神器 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 午夜神器 faculty member;
Generate data to be returned to the company, and not include analysis or interpretation by 午夜神器 personnel or suggestions of means to improve the results; and
Have a very low probability of resulting in new patentable intellectual property originated by 午夜神器.
For template agreements, see 午夜神器's Office of Research Administration.
