University of Nebraska innovators who submit a new invention notification to UNeMed will receive an exclusive T-shirt, pennant and lapel pin at the annual Innovation Awards.

There is now a streamlined way for any faculty, students or staff to submit their new ideas and discoveries.

UNeMed, the technology transfer and commercialization office for UNMC and UNO, now has a digital form that inventors can use to submit their innovations, discoveries and ideas.

The New Invention Notification form is embedded on UNeMed’s website here: https://www.unemed.com/new-invention-notification-nin.

All inventions are accepted under strict confidentiality and will be reviewed by the UNeMed team to determine the potential intellectual property and commercial potential of the invention.

Submitting a New Invention Notification is only the first of several steps toward commercializing and innovation. UNeMed has provided a comprehensive Inventor’s Handbook (https://www.unemed.com/resources/inventor-handbook) that explains the entire process, potential outcomes and the obligations of everyone involved.

Physical copies of the handbook are also available. Contact UNeMed to request a free copy.

The traditional Microsoft Word version of the New Invention Notification will remain available and acceptable for any who wish to use it and send via email to unemed@unmc.edu. That form may be downloaded here: https://www.unemed.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/UNeMed_NewInventionNotification.doc
