Invent Launches New Invention Disclosure Form (IDF)

Invent DCU is delighted to launch its new and simplified Invention Disclosure Form (IDF) for DCU.  This important form is now shorter and much easier for an academic / researcher to use. This IDF form should be completed and submitted to Invent DCU when you believe you have created something during your research that has commercial potential. Remember to ensure it is submitted prior to publication or public presentation of your research to give the team at Invent time to assess the invention. An IDF can be used to disclose any type of result, including materials, formulations, devices, software and code.

If you are unsure about any aspect of the form, please complete as much as possible and submit to peter.olwell@dcu.ie who will contact you directly.
