What is the information in the IDF used for? Does the submission of an invention disclosure lead to a patent application?

The Invention Disclosure Form is an internal KSU form used to provide a written record of your intellectual property. The information described herein enables OTC to establish a record of the date of conception of the invention for legal purposes.

The information will be used to:

  • Evaluate the technology for commercialization potential 
  • Protect the intellectual property 
  • Identify potential licensees 
  • Comply with sponsor reporting requirements 

Submission of an IDF does not ensure that a patent application will be filed. ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which inventions it will seek to protect. The University Patent and Copyright Board will periodically review all disclosures and determine whether to pursue protection of the invention.
