What are the rules when a student invents something and submits it in an assignment?

Asked by talljasperman (21916points) February 27th, 2012

K-12 and university in Canada and the United States… What happens if the teacher or other student steals the idea and tries to patent it? What if the invention is in the idea stage? What if the student is compelled to do the assignment? Have you ever encountered such a situation?
