TTO Invention Assessment in the Age of AI 

Sample Image

Technology transfer offices face a real bind: the more disclosures that come in, the harder it is to evaluate each one well. Most offices settle for a checklist or instinct. This template gives you a four-dimension framework for deciding not just whether to protect an invention, but how much to invest and in what form, applied consistently to every disclosure.

Inside the guide you'll learn:



  • Customer-Centric IP Starts With People

    Why one score is not enough, and how four dimensions together answer not just whether to protect an invention but how: provisional or full, patent or trade secret, license or spinout

  • Rethink Processes with Stakeholders in Mind

    How to assess portfolio alignment early, so you catch overlap between PIs and combine related disclosures into stronger families instead of weaker individual filings

  • Tech Should Serve Everyone, Not Just Legal

    How to evaluate market opportunity by use case, because the most commercially valuable application is not always the one the inventor had in mind

  • Mission

    How to run a novelty assessment that shows where the novelty lives relative to the features the market actually values, not just whether the invention is new

  • Mission

    How to score the commercialization pathway, so you stop over-investing in inventions you cannot place and match each one to the form of protection that fits

Read the template to put a consistent framework behind every disclosure decision, so your team's judgment goes where it matters most.
