Legal Services (Research & Intellectual Property) is vital to providing counsel on legal risk so that decisions can be made which protect UQ’s interests and position. The RO works closely with Legal Services all the time but will particularly seek advice, for example, when a matter is complex, has a high-risk profile or an RO staff member is not confident that UQ’s interests and investments can be protected in an agreement.
Legal Services (Research & Intellectual Property) undertakes a wide range of legal work on behalf of the University. This can range from the preparation, review and negotiation of agreements to establish new research collaborations, through to the provision of advice in relation to established research collaborations.
