Inventor’s Corner: Invention Disclosure with Sophia

Invention Disclosure with Sophia

Why Create a Disclosure?

Disclosing your invention establishes a legal basis for protection.  Your Disclosure captures the salient aspects of your invention and the dates when first conceived, written down, or disclosed to others.  By documenting it formally, you establish ownership and rights, safeguarding against unauthorized use or exploitation by others.

    Begin by disclosing your invention through Sophia, our intuitive Patent Management system from Wellspring.  As an °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â faculty researcher, you already have access to Sophia.  Simply log in with your °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â credentials and select New Disclosures in the Tasks box.  

 

What to Read Next?

We highly recommend you read the Step-by-Step Guide and the Section on Precision in Patent Distributions which describes income distributions between °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â and other institutions, as well as between °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â and the inventor(s). It also covers considerations for distribution among the inventors themselves.
