IDF not formally acceptable
If the IDF is not formally acceptable, the Rectorate notifies the inventor of deficiencies identified in the disclosure within 2 months of receipt.
The inventor corrects the deficiencies within 1 month of notification.
IDF formally acceptable
If the IDF is formally acceptable, the Rectorate evaluates ownership rights related to the invention and communicates the decision to the inventor.
If the university does not claim ownership, the invention is deemed non-service invention status.
If the university claims ownership, it proceeds with the registration application for the invention.
- The university must submit the registration application within 4 months of notifying the inventor of its decision (or within a maximum of 6 months if an agreement is reached between the inventor and the university).
Licensing and Commercialization
