Once my invention is disclosed in confidence to the UNLV Office of Technology Transfer, what is the evaluation process?
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 successful 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. If a scholarly publication or news release is imminent, we will accelerate the process of reviewing, drafting, and filing a patent application in order to preserve your patent rights.
