Northeastern maintains control of all patent filings and patent prosecution decisions. However, Northeastern must provide your company with a reasonable opportunity to advise Northeastern regarding the preparation, filing, and prosecution of the patents you have licensed. For PCT applications, operational startups with an NU license can provide input into which countries/regions to elect.
