We will review your invention with you and then coordinate a preliminary evaluation of the invention’s potential for protection as intellectual property and for possible commercialization. A confidential expert review of the idea or discovery will be conducted, and we will then decide whether to file a patent application to protect the invention. An Overview of our technology assesment process can be found here.
