Invention Disclosure Process

You have an idea or an invention. Now what?
You have developed a new revolutionary technology or invention – you wish to see it elaborated into a commercial product or service, and at the same time protect your rights and your research.
BTO has the competence, experience and the network needed to help you. The work process at BTO happens as follows:

The Commercialization process

1.The process of commercialization starts when BTO has received approval from the inventor’s employer, after our recommendation to commercialize the product or the invention.

2. A team is then established, with the inventor and a business developer, possibly an adviser and an external expert, who together develops the project. The work involves a broader professional verification, a more comprehensive evaluation of the possibility of a patent and also external market analysis and choice of commercialization structure/company structure.

3. The projects are developed and presented to an independent panel. BTO will subsequently help develop the business concept, and also participate in the strategic work.

Commercialization normally happens through license agreements/sales or establishment of a company. BTO also ensures that the researcher and the research environment get their share of possible future revenues from the invention.
