Patents & IP
The results of your research have value – and protecting it is of utmost importance. Learn all about patents and intellectual property.
HIGHEST will be helpful on several levels: From consulting about the selection of a patent to supporting the financial aspect of protecting intellectual property. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, should you have any questions whatsoever.
Introduction

SUPPORT FOR YOUR FIRST STEPS
From invention to commercialization
In order to ensure that the rights of TU Darmstadt employees to their work results, IP and inventions are protected and that inventors can participate in the financial returns in accordance with the Employee Invention Act in the event of exploitation, it is important that they report their invention accordingly to secure their legal claim. This report is to be made simply in the form of an invention disclosure to the Knowledge Transfer unit of the Directorate Research Services & Technology Transfer, department IP and Innovation Management. TU Darmstadt subsequently secures the interests of the inventors and will coordinate further details in consultation within the framework of a professional IP process.

Too early is soon enough!
Researchers are curious by nature. After all, it is quite exciting to wrap your head around a problem. While in the zone, it is important, however, not to miss the marker when it is time to get consulting on potential goals and protect current and future research results. Which is, you guessed it, never too early!
