Mind to Market: The Invention Disclosure Process

Faculty research at UNL continues to generate many exciting ideas and technologies that often may have significant commercial potential. Protecting your research will allow you to see your efforts reflected in new products or processes in the marketplace, while providing significant benefits for you, your co-inventors, and society at large.

Step 1:	Disclosing Your Invention to OTD
Step 2:	Evaluating the Invention Disclosure
Step 3:	Protecting Intellectual Property
Step 4:	Marketing and Commercialization of Your Invention
