Intellectual Property (IP) First Steps
- Avoid disclosing before filing – disclosure can invalidate a subsequent patent filing by removing the novelty requirement – ORI is happy to advise and assist with putting a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) in place.
- Submit an Invention Disclosure Form.
- Meet to discuss with a member of the innovation team who will advise on the process to identify commercial potential, patenting and commercialisation.
