What is the Invention Disclosure Search?
This service is aimed at public universities and universities of applied sciences.
Your university creates inventions. This leaves you facing a decision: should you pursue a patent application for the invention or not? We help you to make this decision with our Invention Disclosure Search.
Our experts analyze the invention, review the prior art, and assess the prospects of success of a potential patent application. Within two months, you will receive a comprehensive search report and our assessment as a basis for decision-making, enabling you to realistically evaluate the economic potential of your innovation.
Here’s how it works
Apply online for an Invention Disclosure Search and receive the search results within two months. The service is available in German or English.
