Once the research is disclosed, what is the evaluation process to determine whether or not it is an invention with commercial potential?
The disclosure review process starts with the submission of a Research Disclosure Form. The Research Disclosure Form is reviewed with the Creators for its commercial potential and ability to protect the Intellectual Property. At the end of the review process, the Office of Technology Transfer will notify whether the University has “Elected to Retain Title” to the Intellectual Property. If the university “Elected to Retain Title”, it will pursue marketing the Intellectual Property and protecting it per the Intellectual Property Policy. Our goal is to move new Intellectual Property from the research lab to people who can benefit by attracting commercial partners to license the Intellectual Property or further its development through Sponsored Research while protecting the University of Louisville’s investment in research.
