Disclosure is a relatively simple process.
An Intellectual Property Questionnaire is available either on our web site or through contacting our office. Once completed, the questionnaire should be returned to the Office for Technology Development for documentation and evaluation. However, once cataloged, even if only available in a single library, a thesis is considered public disclosure. An additional concern for printed publications is the actual date they become available to the public. This date is usually prior to the issue date on the cover of the journal or the first day of the conference.
