{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: Guidelines for industry-sponsored research at universities. {Author}: Varrin RD;Kukich DS; {Journal}: Science {Volume}: 227 {Issue}: 4685 {Year}: Jan 1985 25 {Factor}: 63.714 {DOI}: 10.1126/science.11643811 {Abstract}: The authors postulate that, as the number of university-industry cooperative research programs increases, the potential for problems arising from the inherent differences between the two types of organizations will increase as well. They maintain that success in such relationships can be promoted by anticipating problems and developing guidelines for averting or dealing effectively with them. Ten such guidelines are presented, concerning publication rights, patent ownership, copyright, confidentiality agreements, research units, faculty consultants and entrepreneurs, international agreements, sharing of personnel and equipment, and model research agreements.
