South Central Intellectual Property Partnership at Rice (SCIPPR) Office Records
The SCIPPR office records are divided into four series. They consist of documents relating to the planning and opening of the department and its eventual closing and the business conducted by SCIPPR during its days of operation. Included are billing, patent search requests, correspondence, general office files, meetings material, equipment planning and operational material. The material in each folder is filed in chronological order.
Also included are architectural drawings by Chelsea Architects of the SCIPPR space and some larger items salvaged from the closing—framed photograph of the SCIPPR space, a plaque listing the Charter Member’s Names, and an award from the Greater Houston Partnership.
