Do you have an idea or invention that you think can change the world?
You may wonder, What is the Next Step? Who should I disclose my idea to? Why is this step so important for your invention?
Submitting an Invention Disclosure is a crucial step in the innovation process. It serves as the formal documentation of a new idea or invention, providing a detailed description that can be used to establish intellectual property (IP) rights. Only by disclosing an invention can an inventor protect their work from being copied or used without permission, ensuring the inventor receives the proper recognition and potential financial benefits. Invention disclosures also facilitate collaboration and further development as it allows others to understand and build upon the original idea. This process not only safeguards the inventors interests but also promotes the advancement of technology to improve the health of the patients we care for.
Please join us as Sundeep Mattamana, PhD., Executive Director, Office of Technology Transfer lays out the steps needed to protect your idea or invention.
We will also present Awards to four faculty members who received Patents on their Inventions.
