For Inventors

As a member of the Syracuse University community, your invention or idea is important
(1) to your professional development
(2) to the University, and if applicable
(3) to your research sponsor.

Inventions or creations include new processes, software, products, apparatus, compositions of matter, living organisms or improvements to (or new uses for) things that already exist.  It is essential that it be reported promptly, especially when Federal funding has supported the research, so that it can be evaluated to determine if there is sufficient novelty to permit patenting, and if so, and sufficient commercial potential to justify a licensing program for industry.

Please submit this completed form and all attachments, including extra pages added as necessary for further detail, via e-mail to The Office of Technology Transfer and Industrial Development at jhoh@syr.edu.
