The purpose of the Intellectual Property Advisory Committee (IPAC) is to make determinations regarding the assignment of intellectual property under the provision of the Intellectual Property Policy of UNTHSC.

The assignment of intellectual property is determined by the extent to which the property was developed by UNTHSC faculty, staff or students when performing their duties of employment or through their substantial use of facilities or funds provided by the institution.

The IPAC also provides input to the Technology Transfer & Commercialization Office regarding invention disclosures.

All members are appointed to three-year terms.
