  3. When Do I Disclose? • Don’t worry about whether or not you have an “Invention.” • Disclose anything that you think may be a great research development, or just cool research, via the Research Disclosure Form. • If the form is confusing, call the OTD • We’ll help you fill it out!

  4. What’s the Process • Fill Out a Research Disclosure • Turn in to OTD • Confirmation of receipt within a few days via email • Notification of case manager within a week • Within a few weeks you will hear from the case manager about: 1) either a meeting to get more details or 2) a communication with initial search results • Evaluation on Patentability, Market, and Business Sense in moving forward is made by case manager • Within 120 days, notification of status: • ELECTED, NONELECTED, or PENDING

  5. Presenting and Publishing… • Is Your Right! • OTD files a patent before disclosure when both: • Time allows • It is economically viable to do so • The more lead time you can give us, the more informed decision we can make about whether or not to file a patent prior to disclosure • Talk to the OTD when you have a draft, before it is accepted for publication (or you are on the plane headed to give your talk). • One Year from Public Disclosure to protect in U.S. • Foreign Rights lost IMMEDIATELY

  6. What do you getwhen we License? • When Licensed • Patent and Overhead expenses reimbursed 1st • We try and recoup the patent costs separately in the license whenever possible • Of the remaining Net $: • 50% to the Inventor(s) -- No Cap! • 12.5% to Inventor(s) Department(s) for Research • 12.5% to Inventor(s) College(s) for Research • 25% retained by VPR for Research • If Inventors choose to put all of their share back into research, UofL will put an additional 40% of the net $ in up to $300k

  7. Want to Start a Company? • The OTD will facilitate introductions to entities that can help you in this process: • LMCDC • MetaCyte • The Louisville ICC • Your Company can License if: • It has qualified business management • Can show us a viable business plan • It negotiates an option or license from the OTD that contains proper diligence milestones
