Syracuse University researchers are encouraged to finalize invention disclosures as soon as possible, due to the lead time needed to analyze invention disclosures and pursue patent protection (if warranted). This is especially true for researchers that will present papers or posters at conferences during the Summer of 2024. This is also true for researchers that are actively pursuing corporate collaborations. It is important to identify, assess and protect any intellectual property that would be presented as part of a “pitch” meeting with a corporate entity. To submit an invention disclosure go to the online invention disclosure portal.
