Intellectual Property Policy

Any student involved in university-supported research is required to sign an Intellectual Property Policy (IPP) Agreement with Boston University. The Intellectual Property Policy can be found on the Office of the Provost’s website. You can find and sign the Agreement via the following link. 

Students who must sign the agreement based on University guidelines will automatically receive an e-mail request from ippolicy@bu.edu to read and sign the agreement once they are hired. Principal investigators or student hiring managers who would like other students in their research or academic groups to sign the agreement, for any reason, will need to manually prompt students to sign by sharing this link.
