The following tabs are instructions and descriptions for each section of the Invention Disclosure Form (IDF). You may follow these instructions by each section as you fill out the application. If you prefer to look at all of the instruction sections at once they are available as a PDF.
Brief Summary Information
After reading the introduction you will be asked to provide a concise and non-confidential summary of your invention (this may be shared with potential commercial partners).
In this section you will also provide details of previous and future disclosures of this invention. First you will choose if this invention is related to a previous invention disclosure that has been submitted to our office. If you answer 鈥淵es鈥 you must provide the KSU Invention I.D. Number.
Next provide the dates and details for all previous and/or future disclosures. The system only allows you to add the date for one disclosure. If you need to add more than one, add additional dates and details in the 鈥淒escription of Intended Publication/Disclosure鈥 box.
Funding/Sponsorship Information
Next you will provide funding and sponsorship information including agencies/entities and grant numbers for all funding sources. If you click yes, you will have the opportunity to disclose if the funding was from a U.S. Federal Agency. If yes, you will then add additional information in the table below.
If no, you will receive a description box to detail the sources and specifics of your funding.
Inventors
In the inventors section you will be asked to provide the names and contact details of co-inventors (both 妖姬直播 State and non-KSU contributors) as well as the percentage of their contribution. To add a KSU inventor click 鈥淎dd Inventor鈥 above the table.
Use the search box in the upper right-hand corner of the window to search for your inventor. If you do not see them, click 鈥淎dd a new contact鈥 and fill out their name and contact information.
Once added adjust the contribution levels of each row so the total contribution from KSU inventors adds to 100%. If you need to add any non-KSU inventors choose yes in the corresponding drop-down. You put the percentage contribution of KSU inventors in the first box. The next box is the combined total contribution percentage of non-KSU inventors. The contribution of KSU and non-KSU inventors should add up to 100%.
Next you will be able to provide the full name and basic contact information about up to two non-KSU inventors. Please assign a contribution percentage to each one totaling 100%. For example, if you only have one non-KSU inventor their contribution is 100%. If you have two, their contributions could be 60% for non-KSU contributor 1 and 40% for non-KSU contributor 2.
