Intellectual property - support at KI
Intellectual property (IP) is a collective term for various rights that protect different forms of knowledge assets (datasets, methods, inventions, etc) created within research. At Swedish universities, academic staff enjoy the teacher’s exemption or professor’s privilege. In simple terms, this means that researchers generally own the results of their work, unless otherwise agreed in the specific case.

- IP impact: helping to describe your social, economic, and technological impact on society
- IP legal advice: reviewing IP-clauses in agreements and collaborations bearing in mind the professor's privilege principle, wherein the KI-Researcher owns his invention
- IP searches: fetching basic state of the art documents around your idea
