Unlocking Invention: Four Levers for Better Disclosure Pipelines

Removing Barriers to Innovation

Sample Image

IP protection doesn’t start in the patent office, it starts with disclosure. Yet many organizations struggle to capture inventions despite major R&D investments. The problem isn’t a lack of ideas, but rather processes that are unclear, unrewarding, or cumbersome.

This whitepaper introduces a practical framework to improve both the quality and volume of disclosures. Drawing on innovation funnel theory and industry best practices, it shows how education, motivation, awareness, and convenience can transform your pipeline into a steady source of strategic IP.

Inside this whitepaper, you’ll learn:

  • Customer-Centric IP Starts With People

    Education strategies that teach inventors what counts and when to disclose, without overwhelming them.

  • Rethink Processes with Stakeholders in Mind

    Motivation levers that align inventors with organizational strategy and culture.

  • Tech Should Serve Everyone, Not Just Legal

    Awareness-building approaches to keep IP visible and top-of-mind across teams.

  • Mission

    Convenience upgrades that streamline forms, reduce friction, and leverage technology to make disclosure efficient and streamlined.

  • Mission

Why it matters

A stronger disclosure pipeline delivers:

  • A portfolio better aligned with company strategy.
  • Engaged inventors who see disclosure as career-building, not burdensome.
  • Processes that efficiently capture ideas at the right time.
Investing in these fundamentals shifts disclosure from obstacle to opportunity. A better disclosure process powers both innovation and protection, resulting in a stronger, more engaged inventor community and a portfolio positioned to drive lasting business impact.
