We are the stewards of the taxpayers' money through NSERC or provincial funding, so we don't take every project. Some of them are just stupid. We just want to make the good ones, those that will actually have a chance for, in our particular case, good training, good intellectual property, good economic development.
We make sure the company knows. They sign a whole slew of papers, including media releases. The students sign non-disclosure agreements and all this from the beginning, so they know what's going to happen to the IP before the project is even started.
