University researchers are under constant pressure to collaborate with research partners and sponsors, share their work with their colleagues, help attract funding, and publish papers for tenure consideration. However, in a nightmare scenario that most tech transfer professionals have experience, an inventor can destroy the novelty of his or her invention, jeopardize its patentability, and forfeit the value of the IP by disclosing it before a patent application or provisional has been filed.

The effects of the disclosure vary tremendously depending on:

The laws of different countries
Timing of the disclosure
Conditions of the disclosure
Contents of the disclosure

The steps TTOs and their counsel should take to preserve patentability depend entirely on the nature of the disclosure and the countries where patents are sought. To make sure you’re prepared, and to give you the best chance of saving your IP from an inadvertent loss of patentability, we’ve tapped attorney Nicholas J. Landau, PhD, shareholder with Maynard Cooper Gale, for this critically important one-hour program.

This program will outline appropriate steps to take in common disclosure scenarios to minimize or prevent loss of rights.
