The Office of Innovation and Commercialization has introduced new resources to enhance the intellectual property and commercialization process at WVU.
A new online intake form is now available to help researchers quickly assess the patentability and commercial potential of their ideas.
Users will receive feedback from their submission, including a high-level market assessment evaluating market potential, novelty and similar patents.
If the feedback is positive, OIC will provide a pre-populated, draft invention disclosure form for users to edit, finalize and submit for formal IP protection consideration and next steps.
All information is exchanged securely and confidentially.
Find more information under the “Inventor Resources” tab.
For questions, contact OIC at commercialize@mail.wvu.edu.
