Invention Disclosure Form
All information and data disclosed to MMC/MMCV in this document is considered proprietary and will be held confidential. This form is a way to let us know you have innovation or technology and give us information about it.
This form is a significant first step in the process that could lead to the broad dissemination and commercialization of inventions created by MMC faculty, staff, students and alumni. This form also serves as an institutional record which provides essential information for identifying intellectual property, including inventions, technological innovations, discoveries, methods, processes, and other patentable, trademarkable or copyrightable works. As you are completing the form, please provide as much detail as possible.
The purpose of this form is to provide a written, dated notice of your invention disclosure. A disclosure is necessary to enable the College and MMCV to comply with most industry contractual requirements, as well as the requirements of the U.S. Federal Government laws and regulations as they are applied to college grants and contracts.
MMCV will use the information contained within this form to assess the opportunities available to protect the invention (e.g., through patenting, copyright, trademark, etc.) as well as to assess the commercial and market potential of the invention disclosed.
An invention disclosure should be completed when something new and useful has been conceived or developed or when unusual, unexpected, or unobvious research results have been achieved and can be utilized.
After receipt of the completed disclosure form the researchers may be asked to provide reasonable assistance (e.g., equity review, participate in patent and literature searches, review patent drafts, and assist in discussions with industry contacts).
The person completing this disclosure form is responsible for providing a complete copy to all those individuals listed in the inventor section.
