Early Disclosure - Early disclosure to UTI makes our job much easier and you get the resulting benefits. If your technology has already been published, there are still ways to proceed and maximize commercial return. If your technology is too early to commercialize, we will stay in touch with you, track your progress and move into action when the technology is ready. The technology must be designed to address some opportunity. Success will depend on the benefits of your technology over what is currently being used to address the situation.
Quantitative measures are the most useful in demonstrating the advantages of a technology.
Tangible Results - Many projects we review are ideas, rather than technologies. It's fine to disclose early, but if your project has moved beyond the idea stage and there is something tangible, call us immediately. Defined Commercial Application - Often the ultimate commercial potential of your technology will not be clear. Even markets that seem straightforward may be determined by unforeseen factors. If it is clear to you that there is a significant commercial application for your technology, especially if it surpasses what is currently available, we will evaluate the market with you.
