Agreed... I don't think this is a PD question. If you write a formula and publish it as part of your work, the University may be entitled to ownership according to this agreement. Doesn't matter if the formula was written in pencil, pen, on paper, in sand, etc.
I remember having to sign this same type of agreement as a grad student at the UCSD math department (before i dropped out :-) )
Best, p

But then someone told me today about some fine print clause somewhere that says University of the Arts owns anything someone creates while they're here. Luckily, since no one here understands either the tuning systems or the inner workings of a PD patch, them knowing what I had in mind doesn't help them if they don't actually have it.
So what I'm wondering is, is there such a thing as ownership with a PD patch? Can anyone direct me to info on this? I'd like to be prepared for anything this little trade school might try.
You should read the fine print very closely, maybe taking a lawyer's advice into account as well. This has not much to do with ownership for a Pd patch, actually, it also can also apply to all other kinds of research and development as well as artistic work. Did you see the video from Barcelona with Miller's talk? If not, do so and listen closely to the story Miller tells about IRCAM and Max.
