This document provides an overview of SRI International, a research institute founded by Stanford University. It discusses SRI's history, areas of research including virtual worlds and gaming, educational programs, and intellectual property. The document was written by John Murray, the program director of SRI's computer science lab, and shares some of his experiences with virtual worlds research.

Can students contribute to inventions?
"Yes, a student can even be the sole
contributor or inventor. As a ground rule,
ownership to an invention (or ownership
to an ideal share of an invention) made by
a student lies with the student....."
