<p>Dear UC Colleague,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>When you first joined the University of California, you signed a Patent Acknowledgment or Agreement (depending on when you joined UC) as a condition of employment or your ability to use UC research resources and facilities. Because of recent court decisions
in the case <i>Stanford v. Roche</i>, it is necessary for you to sign an amendment to that document.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>This amendment clarifies the original intent of the Patent Acknowledgment or Agreement you signed: to assign to the University rights to inventions and patents you may conceive or develop while employed by UC, using UC research facilities and/or resources,
or using gift, grant or contract funds received through the University.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>This is not a change in the Patent Policy; it is simply an amendment that clarifies the existing Acknowledgment or Agreement in light of the court decisions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Your electronic signature on the Patent Acknowledgment/Agreement Amendment available here will ensure that the University is able to fulfill its intellectual property obligations to research sponsors, industrial partners, the federal government and others.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Signing the Amendment is easy. Simply write down your PIN number shown below; then click on the signature link to sign your Patent Acknowledgment/Agreement Amendment. You will also need your Employee ID number, which you can find by signing in to your personal
account on At Your Service Online (<a href="https://atyourserviceonline.ucop.edu/">https://atyourserviceonline.ucop.edu/</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>
