Colleagues—

For those of you who have non-salaried (0%) Research Affiliate appointments where researchers use your facilities and collaborate with your faculty and staff but are financially supported by their own institution, how do you handle Intellectual Property ownership rights? Do you own the IP since it was developed using your facilities? Does the Research Affiliate’s institution own the IP since it was developed by their employee? Do you “split” ownership? Or something else altogether?

Thanks in advance!
