The Intellectual Property Section of the Office of General Counsel provides a variety of materials for negotiating, preparing and processing Research Agreements. For example, we have sample paragraphs and online checklists to facilitate revising and negotiating publication, confidentiality, intellectual property and indemnifications sections of a research agreement. We also have sample universal and master research agreements and forms for transmitting those agreements for processing to The U. T. System. For example:
Sponsored Laboratory Study Agreement or Testing Agreement
Universal and Master Agreements, some of which are for research agreements
Checklists for research agreements (the purpose of the checklist is to help you analyze Sponsor-offered clauses in order to determine what editing they require to bring them into conformance with the Regents' Rules regarding intellectual property)
