The South Central Intellectual Property Partnership at Rice (SCIPPR) was
established in 1997 as a partnership between Fondren Library, Rice University,
and the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) to provide specialized services
to the region’s intellectual property community. SCIPPR was to provide fast,
convenient patent and trademark service to the greater Houston area, the south
central United States, and Mexico. A Patent and Trademark Depository Library
since 1978, Fondren Library combined its research collections with the new
resources of SCIPPR to provide specialized services for inventors, attorneys,
and other researchers. For a fee the public could search for patents and
trademarks using PTO databases not otherwise available to the public.
Videoconferencing for classes and examiner interviews could also be used for a
fee.
It was decided to close SCIPPR effective December 31, 2001. This
decision was made because of 1) the high cost of the PTO charges to Rice and 2)
because the level of community support and participation this service was
intended to develop and the revenues expected were not enough to meet the
University’s obligations for a self-sufficient, cost recovery center.

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. There is one compact disc that has the
Web material.
