Disclosures

Technology Transfer requires ÒùÆÞÉç faculty, student, and staff inventors to begin the formal technology transfer process by submitting a disclosure using our Inventor Portal.

Be careful not to disclose your new invention to anyone outside The University of Toledo before a confidential disclosure agreement is in place or a patent application is filed.Ìý

Please contact us before disclosing your invention via poster presentation, publication, or any other method of communication (including social media) so we can advise you of the appropriate protection for your technology. ÒùÆÞÉç our Publish and Perish page for more details.
