What are tangible research properties?
Tangible research properties are a group of intellectual property material consisting of new compounds and formulations, biological research materials such as cell lines, genetic constructs, hybridomas and their antibodies, data sets, and computer software and applications. When university faculty want to share patented or unpatented tangible properties with their colleagues at non-profit institutions for research purposes, the materials should be transferred under a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA).
