“Things Your Mother Never Taught You,� the popular series sponsored by the School of Medicine’s Office of Industry Relations, has scheduled a presentation at Harborview Medical Center next week.

“Who Owns What in the Lab?� is the topic from noon to 1 p.m., Friday, May 28, in the auditorium of the Research & Training Building. The presentation is free and open to everyone.

Dr. Susan Wray, director of industry relations, will be joined by Dr. Paula Szoka, director of invention licensing for the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Technology Transfer Office; Dr. Charles Williams, director of digital ventures for Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Tech Transfer; and Clark Shores, assistant attorney general at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ.

The presentation will address questions such as who controls the use and distribution of data, biological materials and copyrightable works in a lab, and what should happen to data, software, cell lines, mouse lines and lab notebooks when a faculty member leaves the lab.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµâ€™s new Intellectual Property Policy will also be described and discussed.
