Intellectual Property Office

Forms

Filing an invention disclosure with the Intellectual Property Office is the first step in protecting your intellectual property. The IPO reviews the information for patentability and, based on the novelty and utility of your invention, will decide whether or not to file a patent application. To file an invention disclosure, faculty, graduate students, and staff should use the Invention Disclosure Form below.

• Invention Disclosure Form (print and complete)
• Invention Disclosure Form (complete on line - Adobe Acrobate 7.0 needed)
  (we highly recommend that you do a test save before completing the entire form to make sure you have a compatible version of Adobe Acrobat as not all versions allow you to save a completed form)

• What happens after the submission of an Invention Disclosure Form?
• Software Disclosure Form (The IPO also manages and promotes software developed at the University)
