Invention Disclosure System

The OIC Invention Disclosure System provides secure, web-based versions of the invention disclosure paper forms, and is the first step in enabling the OIC to assist in evaluating an innovation, and determining how best to move forward with protecting, marketing and out-licensing the technology for development into useful products that benefit the university community and the public.
