A16.4 Intellectual Property
A16.4.1 The ARC does not claim ownership of any intellectual property in a Proposal or in any research arising from a Project.
A16.4.2 The Administering Organisation must adhere to an intellectual property policy, approved by the Administering Organisation’s governing body, which has as one of its aims the maximisation of benefits to Australia arising from research. The Administering Organisation should ensure that applicants for ARC funding are familiar with the current intellectual property landscape for the proposal. Unless otherwise approved by the Commonwealth, the Administering Organisation’s intellectual property policy must comply with the National Principles of Intellectual Property Management for Publicly Funded Research and/or any successor document/s. These document/s are available on the ARC website at www.arc.gov.au.
