Eureka! From final year dissertations to doctoral theses and research work, there are countless scientific advances to be made at the University of Luxembourg. All the more so given its strong focus on research, with more than a thousand doctoral students among the 7,000 students enrolled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is the fruit of this labour remunerated? The rule is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \u201f<\/span>\n Authors retain ownership of their academic work. But the University has the right to use them for teaching and research purposes.\u201d\n<\/blockquote>\n

So: no question of an extract from your thesis appearing on a goodie bearing the colours of the University of Luxembourg. The institution sees itself as the guarantor of the scientific discoveries made within its walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the Board of Governors voted in favour of a new IP policy this spring. \u201cThis first step clarifies the rights of creators, particularly in terms of revenue sharing, but also reflects the University’s desire to add value to research work by creating impact for society, in particular through the use of intellectual property,\u201d add Christophe Haunold and Marie-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Jobin<\/a>, Vice-Rector for Partnerships and International Relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nPatents, a considerable guarantee of security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, there is an even higher level of protection for authors and researchers: patents. \u201cWe currently have a portfolio of around forty active patent families,\u201d explains Christophe Haunold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what is the advantage of patenting your work? \u201cPatents protect researchers and give them a kind of monopoly, because they are guaranteed to be one step ahead of their competitors,\u201d explains Christophe Haunold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uncovering a scientific advance or a new breakthrough is one thing. But often, partnerships can be formed with third parties such as companies or institutions, who then invest resources and boost the impact of the creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While patenting your work is a guarantee of security, there is one detail that should not be overlooked: the patent must be filed before the content is published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a timely reminder, as 26 April marks World Intellectual Property Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
