Computer Ethics
Caltech provides computer resources to assist members of the Institute community in the pursuit of education and research. These resources are intended to be used to carry out the legitimate business of the Institute. As is the case for the use of other Institute property, faculty staff, and students who use campus computing resources should be guided by the Institute's Honor System, which prohibits any member of the community from taking unfair advantage of another.

Office of Technology Transfer
The Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) provides a service to Caltech faculty members, other Caltech researchers, and JPL technologists by protecting the intellectual property developed in their Caltech and JPL labs.
