If the patent application is evaluated and determined by the the Committee for Value-Added Management of Research and Development Results as not being recommended for application but the inventor still would like to file the patent application, the applicant can file on his/her own or entrust the Center to apply. The inventor shall bear full responsibility for all relevant patent fees until the patent right expires. For the following distribution of licensing, however, patent application and maintenance fees shall not be deducted from the loyalty.
The said patent applicants, regardless of the result of the internal technology transfer, shall all be registered as “National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University” but each inventor shall be able to enjoy “the right of attribution” and according to “National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Guidelines on R&D Results and Technology Transfer”, the inventor is entitled to share the income derivatives generated from the IPRs of the R&D results.
