Invention Disclosure Form
This Invention Disclosure Form (IDF) is the first step in the University’s process of identifying industrial property right and determining how to proceed with it. This determination process includes decisions about ownership and patenting as well as licensing.
An IDF should be submitted when something new and useful has been invented. Completed IDFs are important legal documents in that they record what has been invented as well as the circumstances under which the invention was made.
Submitted IDFs are treated as confidential until a patent application is filed or the invention is publicly disclosed (i.e. via an inventor’s publication). Accordingly, prior to a patent filing or public disclosure, the information in submitted IDFs will not be distributed except (a) to research sponsors as may be stipulated by contract, (b) to parties that are under attorney-client privilege or confidentiality agreements, or (c) as may be required by law.
