Disclose Your Invention

Take the first step in protecting your innovation and providing impact.

Once a University of Utah inventor (faculty, staff, and certain graduate students and postdocs) believes they have created something that might be an invention, they should share the information with the Technology Licensing Office. This confidential disclosure should happen promptly to initiate a relationship between the researcher and the Technology Licensing Office, and start the necessary processes for protecting and commercializing the invention.

Prompt disclosure is required by federal law, U policy, and often by agreements or funding agencies. Failure to disclose in a timely manner could result in the university, inventors, and involved companies losing significant rights.

It's crucial to provide as much detail as possible in every section of the disclosure. Please include any upcoming publication dates or other public disclosures that describe the invention.

By submitting an invention disclosure, the inventor enables Technology Licensing Office, if the university decides to pursue the technology, to offer assistance and support throughout the commercialization process.
