As an innovator, having an idea is the first step in a potentially long and rewarding journey. Our Deputy Director of Commercialization, Maria Flynn, has put together step by step guides to help guide you through the stages of idea generation and evaluation.
Quick Start Guides
The Idea
As an innovator, having an idea is the first step in a potentially long and rewarding journey. You may ask yourself:
- I have an idea, what’s next?
- How do I know if it’s a good idea?
- Who owns my idea?
- Someone has a similar idea, should I quit?
This is a quick start guide to walk you through the initial stages of idea generation and evaluation.
Making Progress
You may have an idea that has the potential to transform patient care, streamline processes, or offer new ways of managing health. However, this excitement often comes with a big concern:
How do you share your idea with others without risking it being stolen or misappropriated?
This is a quick start guide to provide strategies for safely discussing your innovative concepts while protecting your intellectual property (IP).
