This is an old Internal Management Directive (IMD-6) that we inherited from OUS on a range of topics including licensing, patents, and copyright. Most of the changes involve updating the language to reflect the current structure of the UO (e.g., changing “Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration" -> VPRI etc) but there are a few substantive changes.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">You can see the redlined policy <a href="https://policies.uoregon.edu/sites/policies1.uoregon.edu/files/Concept%20Form%20-%20Revision%20-%20IMD6%20-%20May%202021%20Final.pdf" class="">here</a> and attached.
