  9. Rules • The iFarm Team program is completely voluntary; there is no compensation for participation; Team members must identify themselves as iFarm Team Program volunteers when introducing themselves to Stanford inventors. • The Stanford inventions remain the property of the University. • Improvements to existing inventions would be governed by the University’s IP policy (Note: Focus of program is not inventing). • The iFarm Team members are expected to commit to participating for 5 months. • If the iFarm Teams do not intend to create a startup around their iFarm Team invention, Stanford may use the iFarm Team work product to continue to try to license the technology.
