Invention Disclosure

An Invention Disclosure is a formal document that describes a new idea or invention. It provides details about how the invention works, its purpose, and why it is unique. This document is typically submitted to an organization’s intellectual property office to protect the invention and consider its potential for patents. The disclosure helps ensure that the inventor’s rights are secured and informs decision-makers about the invention’s viability for further development or commercialization. Essentially, it’s a crucial first step in the innovation process to safeguard and evaluate new ideas.
