IFI uses this category for educational institutions, no matter the funding type. This includes schools, colleges, and universities, all of which may be Ultimate Owners.
The following types of academic institutions are added as child names if they are controlled directly by the parent institutionAs it is now common for educational applicants to file for patents under the name of their parent institution, we consolidate the various departments, campuses, and other divisions under the name of the parent institution, with the exception of institutions that are financially independent entities.
This may include:
- colleges of liberal arts
- professional schools
- bureaus
- offices
- foundations
- technology transfer entities
