Disclosure of Inventions and Ideas
Submit Your Disclosure via the Knowledge Management System (KMS)
An electronic portal that connects all aspects of knowledge product management, such as receiving new idea development forms, registering intellectual property rights, or patent trading requests. The platform enables disclosure procedures for these inventions and related services, helping in the investment process of knowledge products and achieving economically feasible outcomes.
When should I disclose via the Knowledge Management System (KMS)?
You must disclose sufficiently before any public disclosure to allow the Technology Transfer Administration at the institute to take the necessary measures to protect the potential intellectual property. Premature public disclosure may lead to the loss of intellectual property protection rights according to the laws and international agreements related to intellectual property rights. Therefore, the university encourages you to identify any protectable intellectual property and consult the Entrepreneurship Institute before any public disclosure.
What is public disclosure or prior art?
