Disclosure Intake

What you will learn:

• Critical components of the invention disclosure
• How and why to establish a disclosure intake process
• Warning signs on a disclosure that require actions

Technology transfer practices require a precise language to learn for those entering the profession. This video is an introduction to the essence of invention disclosure, including why and when to focus on these foundational questions.

Learning (or revisiting) these key elements is great for those new to tech transfer or anyone facing a “design by committee” disclosure creation process that might have stalled in question and format design. Industry questions, start-up concerns, and detailed legal language are all important, but they can get in the way of an inventor disclosing a technology they are presenting at a conference tomorrow.

We also review best practices for ensuring disclosure forms are efficient for faculty to complete and still capture necessary information for compliance. In sum, this introductory course gets new staff ready for daily tasks in just minutes!
