Pitch Decks and Innovation Council

Pitch Decks and Industry Analyses – drafted by TT&C for Inventor


Prior to each quarterly meeting with ORI’s Innovation Council, TT&C prepares a Marketing deck, an Industry Analysis document, and a Prospective Commercial Partners document, each based on the inventor’s patent and publications. These documents are vetted and approved by the inventor(s) before being presented to the Innovation Council.
Additionally, the TT&C team collaborates with the inventor(s) to co-create a Technical Deck. This document provides a detailed overview of the invention while strategically withholding key features to protect its proprietary aspects. The primary aim of the Technical Deck is to engage the interest of potential industry partners' engineering teams, facilitating engagement without compromising the control over the invention’s development process.

 Innovation Council Reviews – New Disclosures and Patented Inventions

The Innovation Council is tasked with assessing each invention for its benefits to the community, as well as its commercial and market viability. Utilizing Pitch Decks for New Disclosures as a basis for evaluation, the Council determines whether an invention demonstrates enough potential to justify moving forward with a patent application. Depending on the invention’s current patent status at the time of review, this may involve filing either a Provisional or a Nonprovisional patent application.

Following each presentation of a Patented Invention, the Innovation Council will either assist in identifying potential commercial partners or recommend initiating a startup venture. Based on the Council’s evaluation, TT&C will implement specific actions aligned with these recommendations. These actions may include connecting researchers with companies interested in licensing new technologies. Alternatively, if pursuing a startup is deemed appropriate, TT&C will facilitate this process by providing access to accelerators, engaging angel investors, and supporting proof-of-concept programs.
