Top of pageHow do I initiate communication with the OTM regarding a possible invention in my lab?
• Call or email any licensing professional listed on the OTM website. • After speaking with the licensing professional, he or she may ask you to file a formal Technology Disclosure Form, which you can download from the OTM website and complete as a Word document. • Through the Technology Disclosure Form, you will be asked to describe the invention and the events leading up to the invention, and to list all inventors, funding sources, related MTAs, and any prior or anticipated public disclosures. The form is a legal document that you must sign and date. It must also be signed and dated by two witnesses (notary not necessary) who do not have a vested interest in the invention but who are competent to generally understand what the invention is.
