Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to submit a patent?

By the time the patent committee approves your patent it will take about one to three months to write and submit a provisional patent application.

When will the Provisional Patent application become publicly available?

Provisional applications are never publicly available. They exist temporarily for a year and at the end of the 12 months they are replaced by a non-provisional application (PCT or other) which is published after 6 months- i.e. 18 months from the filing of the provisional

How do I know if my discovery is an invention? Should I submit a DOI?

You are encouraged to submit a DOI for all developments that you feel may solve a significant problem and/or have significant commercial value. It is best to first contact Yissum to discuss your potential invention or know-how. We can also advise on alternatives to licensing and other strategies.

Why would a researcher want to participate in the technology transfer process?
The reasons are unique to each researcher and may include:
  • Making a positive impact on society
  • Feeling a sense of personal fulfillment
  • Achieving recognition and financial reward
  • Generating additional department/center funding
  • Meeting the obligations of a research contract
  • Attracting research sponsors
  • Creating educational opportunities for students
  • Linking students to future job opportunities
What can I expect to gain if my intellectual property is licensed?

Inventors enjoy the satisfaction of knowing their inventions are being deployed for the benefit of the general public. New and enhanced relationships with businesses are another outcome that can augment one’s teaching, research and consulting. In addition, a share of any financial return from a license is provided to the inventor(s) and their labs.

 

What is expected of me? How can I help?

The cooperation and collaboration of inventors are critical to the success of any technology transfer process. You can help us by: Contacting Yissum when you believe you have a scientific or technical observation with potential commercial or research value. It is best to contact us before holding any discussions with people outside the university community to avoid risking your patent rights and possibly hindering the opportunity to market your invention.

While some aspects of the patent and licensing process will require significant participation on your part, we will strive to make efficient use of your time. However, the patenting process takes several years, and you need to be committed to working with us and patent counsel over this time.

Remember to keep informed of upcoming publications or interactions with companies related to your intellectual property.
