IPPF members meet quarterly via telecon with inventors to discuss invention disclosures and jointly decide which technologies to protect, with patenting costs covered by IPPF. Once a technology is protected, IPPF members are granted a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the technology. IPPF is applicable only to technologies developed by CPES-VT researchers under the CPES industry consortium.
