How Can You Protect Your Inventions? Tips for Researchers.Open areaClose area
- Have you developed a technical solution or arrived at new research findings?
- Can’t find your invention in any database?
- Then you should file an invention disclosure immediately!
If you are staff at TH Wildau and have developed a technical solution or arrived at new research findings, and your search has yielded no results, please contact us.
We ask that you treat your findings as confidential for the time being. Your invention disclosure will be reviewed and evaluated. If appropriate, an application for intellectual property protection will be filed. Please consult with us regarding any planned publications (such as presentations, posters, etc.) before filing an application for intellectual property rights. In the text of the law on employee inventions, you can find detailed information about your rights and obligations (including the obligation to report) in connection with inventions made in the public sector.
