University of Utah Technology Licensing Office’s Post

Every year we receive hundreds of invention disclosures from University of Utah faculty, staff, postdocs and graduate students. Our job is to both protect and develop those ideas so they can impact people across the world. One of the ways we protect these ideas is through patents. Applying for patents is a long and often expensive process, so each disclosure is evaluated by TLO team members and external subject matter experts to determine if a disclosed invention is 1) patentable and 2) marketable.

Our Technology Transfer team seeks to maximize the potential economic, social and environmental impact of University of Guelph inventions and ideas. Reporting to the Director, Technology Transfer & Industry Liaison, the Technology Transfer Officer manages a diverse portfolio of inventions and other intellectual property arising from the University’s research programs. The TTO’s goal is to work with UG faculty and staff, government, companies and investors to increase the commercial impact of new inventions and other intellectual property developed at UG. Primary aspects of the role include: - Working with faculty, students and staff to increase the quality and quantity of reports of invention - Evaluating the market potential of new inventions. Market evaluation includes use of customer discovery tools, interviews and secondary research - Evaluating the potential for patent protection and freedom-to-operate of new inventions, using strong patent database search skills to find and analyze existing patent literature - Protecting intellectual property via collaborating with research personnel and external agents or parties in the preparation and prosecution of required documents and filings - Marketing of inventions to potential receptors, including companies that may license IP and investors and founders who may participate in start-up companies. This may require talking with a wide variety of people and continuing to refine the marketing approach - Negotiating and constructing legal agreements required to grant rights to third parties, including start-up companies, consistent with protection of the University’s interests. In particular in the case of start-up companies, the incumbent should be able to provide some advice and mentorship to help increase the chances of success

A creative thinking exercise I did about a month ago led to an exciting turn of events in my life. I'm highly confident that this creative thinking exercise culminated in a novel invention; upon the completion of my creative thinking exercise, I also completed a prior art search, which did not show anything resembling my invention. While I cannot reveal what my invention is quite yet, I can say that it is in the field of transportation. I spoke to a patent practitioner yesterday, who suggested that I begin the process of filing a provisional patent application with the USPTO. This is the first step of an exciting journey that will unfold over the next several years. There will be many more important steps, including, most crucially, the nonprovisional patent application. Ever since I was a child, it has been a dream of mine to invent something patentable. While there are no guarantees in the patent prosecution process, receiving a patent would fulfill that dream; it could also be a piece of valuable intellectual property moving forward. Even though I usually focus on fashion and lifestyle content, we are all multifaceted individuals, with a wide array of interests. Although honing in on a single niche can bring followers and influence, no single "niche" can encapsulate the totality of who I am as a person. I'm a highly creative person, with creativity that transcends any niche. There may be even more novel inventions in my future. #inventor #patents #intellectualproperty #creativethinking

The global patent system was not conceived with modern universities in mind. This need not however stop the academic sector working successfully with patents as long as some ground rules are understood. Read more in our insight.

In the digital age, there are few things as satisfying as a good, old-fashioned paper archive. I have never gotten the hang of online serendipitous discovery... In fact, whenever I write a book or long-form document I always use paper references. Sticky notes on brown paper to outline chapters, mockups with pen & pencil to design illustrations: I cannot do without. Yes, there are many online tools to outline or sketch, but it just isn't for me. My personal paper archive is much smaller, a fireproof safe with the basic legal documents you need to recover from a disaster such as a home fire. Of course there's a USB harddisk in there too, but I have a strong feeling the paper insurance documents will come out better than the drive.

🧣How to Highlight Inventiveness in Patent Applications..? #ObviousnessChallenge #InventivenessShowcase #PatentReview 🧣To counter objections of obviousness during patent examination, it's essential to underscore the uniqueness of the current invention compared to prior art. 🧣This entails accentuating its problem-solving approach, pinpointing the specific issue it tackles, and illustrating how it offers a technologically advanced solution beyond existing references. 🧣By clearly delineating the distinctive features and innovative steps of the current invention, applicants can effectively rebut obviousness challenges and establish its patentability. 🧣This is helpful for those who are struggling to prove non- obvious nature of the invention. #KeepInventing #inventivestep
