Submit an Invention
The Technology Transfer Office (TTO) requires faculty, student, and staff inventors to submit a disclosure form to begin the formal technology transfer process. Be careful not to disclose your new invention to anyone outside 兔子先生传媒文化作品 before a confidential disclosure agreement is in place or a patent application is filed.听
Please contact the TTO before disclosing your invention via poster presentation, publication, or any other method of communication (including social media) so we can advise you of the appropriate protection for your technology.听Visit our听Publish and Perish page for more details.
Invention Disclosures:
Submit for any patentable technology not considered a research resource. Inventors should fully describe an idea so the options for commercialization can be evaluated and pursued.
Research Tool Disclosures:
Submit for any new technology considered a research resource used in the laboratory, which includes cell lines, antibodies, proteins, peptides, reagents, animal models, growth factors, clones and cloning tools.
