My university had an intellectual property office. I'd ask around your the engineering department for for their student liaison or the name of someone who won't yank you around.

They IP office would regularly send someone to the larger engineering classes when I was in undergrad. Hopefully you will be able to sit down with a cool cat and walk out a single page waiver.

I'm guessing you will have a harder time getting what I call an IP waiver if you are on a full ride vs paying sticker price for your degree.



Thanks for this. I did not know such a waiver existed. I searched the "Office of Research" website of my school, but I did not find any information regarding such a waiver. I will talk to a professor to see if my school has such a thing.

Also one of my professors said that schools don't usually go after students making companies with university related research. Unless the company gets really big. But if the company gets big, then they could easily settle with some cash.
