Privacy Statement
The information on this form is collected for the purpose of completing your enrolment. If you do not complete all questions on this form it may not be possible for the application to be assessed by the MIGR office. You have the right to access personal information that Monash University holds about you, subject to any exceptions in relevant legislation. If you wish to seek access to your personal information or inquire about the handling of your personal information, please contact the University Privacy officer via email at [email protected]
1. Purpose of this form
This form is designed to assist students and supervisors to meet the requirements of Monash University (Vice-Chancellor) Regulations relating to intellectual property through understanding, identifying and agreeing on the circumstances when the student must assign the intellectual property generated as part of their research program to the University.
For further information please refer to the FAQ – Changes to Intellectual Property, or visit the Monash Institute of Graduate Research (MIGR) website: http://www.monash.edu.au/migr/apply/accept/intellectual- property/
The Associate Dean (Research) for the faculty should be consulted if a student and their supervisor disagree.
Please note: students should seek their own independent legal advice regarding the assignment of intellectual property matters.
The Monash Postgraduate Association can assist with further advice on request:
MPA Advocate Phone: 03 9905 8166
2. Who should complete this form and when
There are two steps in the management of student IP matters:
1. Complete this IP Declaration 2. Assignment where required
This form is to be completed by all students and their If it is determined at enrolment or at any later stage that supervisors: the student should assign IP to the University the Student
At the time of enrolment; and Assignment Deed will need to be completed and signed by the student and the University.
W hen ever there is a change in the research program or
surrounding circumstances that has intellectual property Deeds and declarations should be submitted as follows: implications (see page 2).
To the Monash Institute of Graduate Research, Building
The intellectual property implications of the student’s 3D, Clayton Campus, Monash University; research project should be reviewed annually.
3. Monash IP Statute and Regulations
Research is a key national resource. Monash University is a public research institution mandated to conduct research and utilise its resources for the public good. This includes the identification, protection and, where appropriate, commercialisation of the intellectual property arising from its research activities.
The University’s rules governing intellectual property are set out in Monash University (Vice-Chancellor) Regulations, Part 5. Upon admission all students are bound by these Regulations.
Under the Regulations a student owns copyright in their thesis. When a student submits the thesis, the University will ask the student to grant the University a non-exclusive licence to enable the thesis to be published online within the Monash University open access research repository (ARROW) for the dissemination of research outputs.
Under the Regulations a student will also own rights in any other intellectual property created unless that intellectual property is part of a collaborative research activity, in which case assignment of these rights is required.
www.monash.edu 1 Version 1 - 13-February-2015
4. Nature of collaborative research and implications for students
In many disciplines students’ research projects will form part of a broader research project, or where specialist data sets have been gathered and/or equipment and funding have been applied over a number of years, or where a confidential research design has already been undertaken. In these cases the student benefits from the data gathering, resources and expertise that have already been applied to the research area. In many cases third party funding is involved in the project. These are the circumstances that may give rise to an obligation to assign student-created IP to the University. In other circumstances students may choose to assign their IP to the University. In the event that a student’s research outputs have commercialisation potential, with or without the
Dictionary illustrations of a 'collaborative research activity':
circumstances described above, a student electing to assign IP to the University can facilitate negotiations with other parties during a commercialisation process. The costs and benefits to students of assignment of IP rights to the University are described in the document Student IP rights – a Summary.
For more information please also see the following resources (information is also applicable to masters by research students):
Chapter 6 of the Doctoral and Masters by Research Handbooks
Intellectual property information sessions (Monash only)
Copyright and rights associated with copyright ownership
TIPS information sheet and Assignment of IP
Collaborative Research Activity Example Usual time for signing Deed
A research project undertaken by more than one person.
A research project that is subject to an agreement with a third party under which the University has obligations relating to intellectual property.
A research project based on a concept or proposal developed by a member of staff, affiliate or third party, or, collaboratively by the student and a member of staff, affiliate or third party other than one which the student has independently developed and the research which the student will independently undertake.
A research project undertaken using University resources, other than standard resources or resources procured by the University commonly provided to students, or collaboration provided by the student's supervisor in the form of standard supervisory advice and guidance at the level that would be expected.
A research collaboration between the University and another university or research institute which the student’s research project contributes to.
A research project involving other staff or students of the University.
An agreement with persons, such as an external body funding the research, may state that intellectual property arising from the project is owned by or licensed to the funding body. The student assigns IP to the University to enable it to pass to the funding body.
So if a mining company is funding research into a device which detects weaknesses in railway tracks, on condition it owns the research outputs, student outputs on this research must be assigned to the University.
A staff member receives a research grant for a research project and the student's research project arises from the concept or proposal in the grant application.
It does not apply where, after learning about a staff member's published research, the student comes up with a new (though related) research concept or proposal.
The University's contribution must exceed what the student could normally expect by way of resources to complete enrolment (i.e. more than standard supervision, scholarship, laboratory/office space or standard computer access).
Examples may include a particular machine or instrument purchased by the University enabling the student to undertake the project, a non-standard enzyme or reagent that may be necessary for the student to perform experiments, or hospital owned patient data that may need to be provided for a student project that may only be accessed by a medically qualified University employee.
Prior to commencing research on the project.
When the agreement term relating to intellectual property is identified.
Prior to commencing research on the project.
When the additional resources are identified as needed and to be provided for by the University.

Academic Progress Milestone Reviews Milestone reviews play an important role in a student’s research training. They are not only a mechanism for progress management; they are also a research development opportunity which facilitates the student’s acquisition of the necessary skills to present their research to their academic peers. They are designed to support and facilitate a student’s progress towards their thesis submission date, providing them with an opportunity to receive structured feedback on their progress to date. Each milestone’s requirements are defined by the student’s stage of research and may include requirements specific to their discipline. As a minimum, a milestone must comprise an oral presentation at a forum open to the public, a written submission from the student, and an interview, with written feedback to be provided to the student. MIGR will email information regarding all milestone reviews approximately 8 weeks prior to the due date.
