The Invention Disclosure Form is an important legal document and should be carefully prepared. 

In the context of this disclosure form, an invention may be any process or material that is new and useful and may result when research yields unusual or unexpected results. To be patentable, an invention should not be obvious to others in the field, not be used by others previously, and not be described in a publication or presentation (in the U.S., one is allowed to file a patent application within one year after a public disclosure).

Print or download and complete the form paying special attention to the "Highlights of the Invention Disclosure." Once the invention disclosure form is completed, please mail it to the CHWiin office at: CHW Intellectual Innovation Network, 222 West Thomas Road, Suite 406, Phoenix, AZ 85013, or email it to: CHWiin@chw.edu
