Inventor Responsibility

Under the SMU Intellectual policy 10.16, “It is the responsibility of the inventor to notify the Associate Provost for Research or his or her designee in writing, including a disclosure of any discovery or invention involving probable patentable features resulting from research or invention under the inventor’s direction.” If you have a question about whether you should or should not disclose, we are always available to meet with you to discuss your research and the process. You can contact the Director of Technology Transfer at techtransfer@smu.edu.  We look forward to receiving your invention disclosures!
