Why Disclose an Invention?There are several reasons…
• Disclosure to the USC Stevens Office starts a process of protecting and commercializing the innovation which provides the greatest opportunity for the innovation to be used in practice for the public good.
• The same process provides the greatest opportunity for the innovation to generate revenue to be shared among for the innovator(s) themselves and the University.
• Offers financial incentives – personal, departmental, collegiate- please refer to the university police on intellectual property at http://policy.usc.edu/files/2014/02/intellectual_property.pdf
