Teachers exemption
Research at Swedish universities is produced under the auspices of the so-called ‘teachers exemption’ (intellectual property rights of academic staff), which means:
The researchers, not universities, own the rights to research results.
This is a unique right that provides researchers with great opportunities and responsibilities.
Should one publish directly, or first patent to potentially, create public benefits by developing new products and jobs?

Why you as a scientist should learn how to search the patent literature!Why you as a scientist should learn how to search the patent literature!
• Avoid research on things that are already known
• Get to know your competition, perhaps you should research something else..
• Find practical solutions to problems
• Investigate the patentability of your research (=commercial potential)
