Outcomes from research projects or other university inventions are potential assets to review and determine patentability. It is also important to know the sources of funding for inventions and potential federal reporting responsibilities.
With our Innovation module, you can track and collaborate on the transformation of research outcomes into documented disclosures, IP filings, legal billing, federal compliance, licensing, invoicing and more.
