Under an embargo, the dissertation or thesis will be available online to Stanford-authenticated users, but not to readers outside the Stanford network.</p><p>Release delay options are: six months, one year, or two years. Embargos of longer than two years require the review and approval of the Subcommittee on Exceptions to Graduate Policy (S-EGP).</p><p>The embargo option may be appropriate for a student who wants to delay access to the dissertation or thesis for a limited amount of time in order to pursue other publications.</p><h3>Embargos and Patent Protection</h3><p>Please note that the laws of different jurisdictions vary on what constitutes a public disclosure that could prevent or impede one鈥檚 ability to obtain patent protection for inventions disclosed therein.</p><p>Stanford takes no position with regards to whether the delayed release of a dissertation or thesis will safeguard the ability to obtain patent protection for inventions disclosed therein.  Instead, Stanford recommends that any patent filings relating to material described in the dissertation or thesis occur prior to submission, whether or not the dissertation or thesis is under delayed release.</p><p>If you have any questions, please contact Stanford's Office of Technology Licensing at (650) 723-0651 or <a href="mailto:info@otlmail.stanford.edu">info@otlmail.stanford.edu</a>.</p><h3>Embargos and Grant-Funded Research</h3><p>If your thesis or dissertation includes any research conducted as part of an active grant-funded project, discuss the embargo option with the project's principal investigator. </p><h3>Embargos and Multiple Authorship</h3><p>Multiple authorship has implications with respect to copyright and public release of the material. Be sure to discuss copyright clearance and embargo options with your co-authors and your advisor well in advance of preparing your dissertation or thesis for submission.  Embargoes may be lifted early at the request of the author.</p><h3>Embargos and Copyright Permissions</h3><p>You may not select embargoed status in lieu of obtaining appropriate copyright permissions. A dissertation or thesis, in its entirety, will be governed by only one level of distribution at any given time; the work may not be subdivided with sections disseminated under differing levels of distribution.</p><p>If you have any questions about whether you should embargo your dissertation or thesis, please consult with your advisor.</p><h3>Extending Embargos</h3><p>Students who designate an embargo period (of six months or one year) during the initial submission, may later wish to either extend their original embargo period (to one year or two years from the time of submission).</p><p>To make such a request, submit a <a href="http://services.stanford.edu">help request</a> to the Office of the Registrar no later than four weeks before your original embargo selection expires.</p></li></ul></li></ul></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></section> </div> <button id="back-to-top"> <span class="fas fa-chevron-up"></span>
