Invention disclosure: key to tech commercialization
Aside from the research itself, the most crucial step in commercializing a lab-generated idea is invention disclosure. Basically, invention disclosure consists of a formal, confidential document that dates and describes the invention. Keep in mind that the invention disclosure process records but does not protect an invention. A good invention disclosure includes a list of… Read more »
When investigators become inventors
We academic researchers like to call ourselves “investigators.” We enjoy sleuthing down information trails. And sometimes, through skill and serendipity, our work results in discoveries that have translational and commercial potential. When innovations do occur, the investigator becomes an “inventor,” too. It’s complicated, of course – which is what spurred me to assemble the Faculty… Read more »
