WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AND DO

Disclose Your Invention/Software

Keep a Lab Notebook

Protect Your Intellectual Property

Avoid Conflict of Interest

Keep a record of your research by regularly using a lab notebook. It can prove critical for the protection of your intellectual property.

LAB NOTEBOOK GUIDELINES

  • Use consecutive pages in a standard lab book that has permanent pages
  • Use ink, not pencil
  • Date entries and identify subject matter
  • Include and explain any relevant formulae, sketches, photos, diagrams, etc.
  • Don't change entries - make a new entry rather than erasing
  • Periodically have someone look over your entries and witness by adding their signature and date. Witnessing is particularly key for first descriptions of inventions.
