Section 8: Intellectual Property and Students

8.1 Introduction

The University in its Statutes claims ownership of certain forms of intellectual property which students create in the course of, or incidentally to, their studies. There are arrangements in the University’s regulations for protecting and exploiting this property, and sharing the commercial exploitation revenues with the student originators. By accepting a place at Oxford and signing the Student Contract with the University, you agree to be legally bound by these provisions.

8.2 Further Information
