Usually Institutions do not own inventions that are not developed through a sponsored research project or other agreement, or with significant use of funds or facilities of the Institutes. You should make the nature of your assignment clear to any third party for whom you expect to consult. It is important to consult the Consultancy policy of your institute to clearly define the scope of work for consulting assignments to minimize any conflicts. Any questions regarding the Consulting inventions may be directed to the TTO.
