Should visiting scientists or collaborators at other institutions be listed as inventors?

All non-KSU individuals that may have contributed to the ideas leading to a discovery should be identified as a contributor under the non-KSU contributors section of the IDF. The University reserves the right to separately reach agreement concerning revenue sharing with any non-KSU contributor that it determines has an ownership interest.
 

What is the information in the IDF used for? Does the submission of an invention disclosure lead to a patent application?

The invention disclosure form is an internal KSU form used to provide a written record of your intellectual property. The information described herein will enable OTC to establish a record of the date of conception of the invention for legal purposes. The information will be used to evaluate the technology for its commercialization potential, legally protect the intellectual property and to identify potential licensees and to comply with sponsor reporting requirement. Submission of an Invention Disclosure does not insure that a patent application will be filed.
