TO : All Chancellors All Deans
In accordance with the University’s responsibility to generate new knowledge and share this for the benefit of the wider public, all undergraduate and graduate theses and dissertations shall be made accessible via the university libraries and departmental reading rooms, unless otherwise indicated as described below:
Pursuant to Article III, Sec. 8 (h) of RA 10055 (Technology Transfer Act of 2009) and Article 7, Sec. 2 of the UP Revised IPR Policy, which was approved and confirmed by the Board of Regents during its 1269th and 1273rd meetings, respectively, the University may withhold public access to theses/dissertations and defense proceedings, in the event that such may contain potentially patentable intellectual property, until such time that the potential intellectual property rights are fully protected by law. Particular attention should be accorded to theses/dissertations in the sciences and engineering.
Should there be an urgent and valid reason to access such theses/dissertations, this can be made possible subject to non-disclosure agreements.
An additional page in the thesis/dissertation should indicate who can have access to the copy in the interim. This instruction should be adhered to by the university/college/institute/department librarians who will also be subject to non- disclosure agreements.
This guideline shall apply to all theses/dissertations submitted on or after 15 March 2012.
For older theses/dissertations with potential IPRs, an additional page with instructions as described in number 4 above may be pasted in all copies of the thesis/dissertation.
This is for immediate and strict compliance.
