During your research, you may have discovered a potentially valuable innovation. Presenting, publishing, or speaking about your work before UTMB files a patent application can potentially reduce the value of the intellectual property, which could hamper efforts to move your invention into products and services that benefit patients.
Come and learn the advantages and processes of filling a patent including:
- Protecting Intellectual Property-Patents safeguard inventions and discoveries
- Incentivizing Investment-Patents encourage investment in new technologies by allowing investors to recoup costs
- Support UTMB's Mission-The University can use royalties from patents to support research and education missions
- UTMB's Royalty Program-Inventors can receive a portion of the proceeds from their manufactured inventions
