Standard Forms

Confidential Invention Disclosure

The Confidential Invention Disclosure is the official form by which inventions (IP with commercial potential) are disclosed and recorded. It was formerly known as the Record of Invention form. This allows the University to protect the IP and potentially exploit it for commercial profit. The Confidential Invention Disclosure may also be used to confirm the priority date for the invention in the event of disputes over patenting.
