Reporting an Invention



It is easy to report an invention to OTD.  Simply
follow the following three steps:

 

STEP #1:
Complete an invention disclosure form.

 

Download the Invention Disclosure Form (IDF)  and
complete it by hand (please print) or open the form, fill-in
the appropriate information, and print the completed
document.  It will be necessary to attach to the IDF
a detailed description or a manuscript fully describing
the invention.

STEP #2:
Obtain signatures from all of the inventors.

 

The completed IDF must be signed by all of the
inventors named on the form.

 

 

STEP #3:
Send your Invention Disclosure Form to OTD.

 

Your completed and signed IDF can be submitted to OTD
 by dropping-off the form at OTD, sending it via campus mail, or by U.S. mail.
