Access to materials

This collection may contain materials with sensitive or confidential information that is protected under federal or state right to privacy laws and regulations. Researchers are advised that the disclosure of certain information pertaining to identifiable living individuals represented in this collection without the consent of those individuals may have legal ramifications (e.g., a cause of action under common law for invasion of privacy may arise if facts concerning an individual's private life are published that would be deemed highly offensive to a reasonable person) for which North Carolina State University assumes no responsibility.

Contained here are bylaws, correspondence, intellectual property and patent agreements, board of director minutes, financial records, and other records of NC State University Research Corporation. Included are agreements and documents relating to CAD-PACK, and Rho-Max/RCS-Technologies. One of the records dates to 1954, a few folders date to the 1970s. However, the majority of the documents come from the beginning of the organization in 1984 through the year 1993. Some documents date later than 1993. These records were originally filed with the Office of Finance and Business, Centennial Campus Records. The record from 1954 appears to be a preliminary agreement, before the research corporation began being more active and encompassing Software work.

The North Carolina State University Research Corporation was incorporated on 13 July 1984. Among its initial objectives were (1) to enhance the capabilities of faculty, staff, and students to conduct research, (2) to coordinate and support joint efforts of the university, the local community, and industry for increased research development, (3) to acquire and operate research equipment, facilities, and land needed to conduct research, and (4) to manage intellectual property resulting from research. On 12 December 2001 the organization's name was changed to the North Carolina State University Partnership Corporation.
