An Invention Disclosure is the first step in commercializing a new innovation and should be made when something new and useful has been developed, or unusual, unexpected research results have been obtained.

• Download the Invention Disclosure Form [DOC]
• Invention Disclosure Instructions [DOC] are available, and an Applied Innovation staff member is available to work with you directly to fill it out
• Once completed, it may be submitted to techdisclosure@drexel.edu

The Invention Disclosure will be assigned to a member of the Applied Innovation team, who will perform an initial review to understand the innovation and its applications and assess options for intellectual property protection.  This review will include discussion with its innovators to both understand the innovation and the team's goals and aspirations for it.
