Introduction

HEC has developed a program through which you can submit your research ideas, published papers, thesis synopsis or whatever is ready to describe your potential invention for evaluation for patentability. It is certified that your submission will remain completely confidential and no step will be taken without the consent of the inventors. The purpose of this evaluation is simply to determine patentability. In case an invention is determined to be patentable the inventor will be encouraged to file for an international patent.. To make sure that this process is completely confidential, you are required to create an account to which only you will have access. You will also be able to read on your own account page, the progress on the evaluation of your ideas as well as the recommendations to proceed with the filing of international patents.

Should it be decided that a patent will be filed, patent attorneys will contact you to complete this process; the cost of this exercise will be paid by HEC.
