Inventor’s Corner: Invention Disclosure with Sophia
Why Create a Disclosure?
Disclosing your invention establishes a legal basis for protection. Your Disclosure captures the salient aspects of your invention and the dates when first conceived, written down, or disclosed to others. By documenting it formally, you establish ownership and rights, safeguarding against unauthorized use or exploitation by others.
Begin by disclosing your invention through Sophia, our intuitive Patent Management system from Wellspring. As an SMU faculty researcher, you already have access to Sophia. Simply log in with your SMU credentials and select New Disclosures in the Tasks box.
What to Read Next?
We highly recommend you read the Step-by-Step Guide and the Section on Precision in Patent Distributions which describes income distributions between SMU and other institutions, as well as between SMU and the inventor(s). It also covers considerations for distribution among the inventors themselves.
