As an inventor or author of intellectual property (patents, copyrights) owned by the University, may I be involved in negotiations concerning licensing of this intellectual property?

If the individual inventor/author has no relationship to a company considering the licensing of the IP, it is proper for him/her to be involved; indeed, participation is encouraged because the inventor/author likely holds the best knowledge of the subject and its applications and marketplace. If the individual inventor/author is involved with a company considering the licensing of the IP, he/she should not be involved in licensing discussions beyond answering specific questions from the University (e.g. , its Office of Technology Commercialization). More active involvement could be considered a conflict of interest and/or commitment on the part of the individual, whose allegiance would be divided, and interests in opposition to those of the University.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
