Pending any Invention Disclosure or Publication Restrictions delays, all Final Reports are submitted to the GT Library. The Library then includes the report in the SMARTech Repository. The SMARTech Repository is publicly accessible database of reports that is searchable via various search engines (Google). This is done to ensure our 501(c)3 not-for profit status by making knowledge generalizable to the public.
All materials in SMARTech are protected under U.S. Copyright Law and all rights are reserved. Such materials may be used, quoted or reproduced for educational purposes only with prior permission, provided proper attribution is given. Any redistribution, reproduction or use of the materials, in whole or in part, is prohibited without prior permission of the author.
