Invention Disclosure Report - Fillable form

Hello Inventors:

Inventors often have a difficult time determining what information is required for the preparation of a patent application. Some companies have Invention Disclosure Report forms and others do not. While the presentation may differ among forms, a typical Invention Disclosure Report includes the following sections:

  • Name, citizenship, residence and contact information for each inventor
  • Description of the Invention including informal drawings
  • Evaluation of the current state of the art
  • Differences that make your invention an improvement over the state of the art
  • Questions addressing whether the invention has been disclosed to others
I have attached a sample Invention Disclosure Report that may be filled out and saved using Microsoft Word. You may use this form when discussing your invention with your patent attorney.

Keep Inventing!

Raymond
