10 Intellectual Property

In the beginning…

11 Intellectual Property

The record begins with Bound laboratory notebooks

… most important documentation!

• Dates • Inventorship – who did what? • Method • Experimental design • Outcomes

Invention. Provisional Patent disclosure filing granted

1212 Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property (IP) – first and foremost, identify the unique, patentable aspects of your invention. You must take steps to protect it.

What distinguishes your invention from the prior art? Clear understanding is critical! Research: Cautions! Do not share confidential info at - Conferences https://www.uspto.gov - Poster sessions - Online

Invention. Provisional Patent disclosure filing granted

1313 Intellectual Property

If you’re a researcher at a university…

University Tech Transfer Offices – Benefits

• No financial risk to you • Filings professionally managed • University pays for filing and attorney fees • Percentage of royalties back to you

Invention. Provisional Patent disclosure filing granted

1414 Intellectual Property

What you will need:

• Date of invention • Title of invention Patents • Lead inventor, co-inventors • Methods, prototypes • Brief description of invention Copyrights • What problem does invention solve? • Software code • Existing technologies, products, solutions Plant patents that address same problem? • New or experimental lines, varieties • Relevant publications, patents, competing inventors • Unique features • Detailed description NOTE: First to file system (how to make and use, illustrations) (America Invents Act, March 2013) • Probable uses of invention

21 Avoid The Commercialization Supernova

Getting started can feel like you’re standing on the edge of the galaxy – where to begin?

Consider this: You biggest – and most avoidable – struggle is a focus on acquiring industry partners…

22 Pressure Testing Your Idea & Reaching Escape Velocity 23 Internal & External Expertise and Perspectives

• Market Research • Competitive Insights • Feasibility of Market Acceptance • Exit Strategy

24 Essential Considerations

Scale-Up
