Teachers exemption
Research at Swedish universities is produced under the auspices of the so-called
‘teachers exemption’ (intellectual property rights of academic staff), which
means:
The researchers, not universities, own the
rights to research results.

Teachers exemption
Research at Swedish universities is produced under the auspices of the socalled ‘teachers exemption’ (intellectual property rights of academic staff), which
means:
The researchers, not universities, own the rights to research results.
This is a unique right that provides researchers
with great opportunities and responsibilities.
Should one publish directly, or first patent to
potentially, create public benefits by developing
new products and jobs?

Patents
Why you as a scientist should learn how to
search the patent literature!
• Avoid research on things that are already known
• Get to know your competition, perhaps you should
research something else..
• Find practical solutions to problems
• Investigate the patentability of your research
(=commercial potential)
