  • What is the process of reporting a discovery?

    An invention of university employees is considered a Service Invention and the intellectual property of university researchers and employees belongs to the university, according to the university's procedures and according to the patent and invention regulations. The researchers are rewarded for their part in developing the invention in accordance with patent regulations. In accordance with the terms of the various funding bodies, there are cases in which the researchers and the university are obliged to report a discovery to the fund. Therefore, the researchers must fill out a Discovery Notice Form and declare to the Committee of Discoveries about the invention. The Discovery Notice Form is online to simplify the reporting process.
