Intellectual Property Disclosure
What is an intellectual property disclosure?
An intellectual property disclosure (also called an invention disclosure for patentable subject matter or a works disclosure for copyrightable subject matter) is a description of your innovation that is provided to OTD. The disclosure should include a detailed description of the innovation and
its intended commercial application, all sources of research funding and support and any other information necessary to evaluate the innovation’s commercial potential. It is also critical to note the date of any past
or upcoming publications or other public disclosures describing the innovation. To initiate the disclosure process, email the appropriate disclosure form to OTD at techdevelop@fau.edu. You will be contacted by OTD shortly after your submission is received to discuss the innovation and its commercial potential.
