Concept Submission Form | Center for Technology Transfer & Commercialization

Welcome to the Concept Submission Form. This Form provides a means for a high-level review of your concept for commercial potential. Once a form is submitted, we will follow up with you within the next two business days to provide feedback and/or talk about the next steps. Should the concept look promising, CTTC will work with you to submit a more comprehensive disclosure that will be used as the basis for in-depth analysis and intellectual property protection. Inventions made in the course of research sponsored by the Government, a company, or a foundation should be disclosed via the Inventor Portal.
