ASU Graduate School Policy on
Doctoral Dissertation Intellectual Property
Defenses of doctoral dissertations which contain
information relevant to proprietary material or
possible patent applications shall be held in the
usual manner with the exception that those portions
of these documents which deal specifically with
proprietary material or patent related information
will be presented and discussed only after the
meeting has been closed to all persons except the
candidate and the specifically assigned members of
the review committee. The meeting will be reopened
when discussion moves to other portions of the work.
Doctoral dissertations containing
information relevant to proprietary material or
possible patent applications will be made available
only to the members of the review committee. After
the work has been successfully defended, copies will
be deposited in the University Libraries but under
special conditions of limited access, i.e., listed
in the library catalog but not placed on the shelf,
and will be available for access only with the
express permission of the Office of Technology
Transfer.
Such documents will remain in this
restricted status and will not be forwarded to
University Microfilm International until the patents
have been applied for, at which time, specific
authorization for their release will be given by the
director of the Office of Technology Transfer.
