Important

The submission of an IPD does not equal intellectual property protection, i.e. the filing of a patent application. It creates a record with the OTC (and UAH) that an inventor may have a discovery worth pursuing intellectual property protection.

UAH faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to contact the OTC during the nascent stages of research to explore if they have a potential invention. Proper disclosure of intellectual property (IP) is the key to its protection.
