NORTHWESTERNINVENTIVE ACTIVITY

Figure 1 illustrates invention disclosure activity since 2002. In FY 2019, INVO processed230 invention disclosures.

Inventorship spans both campuses. Figure 2 represents the distribution of inventive activity by school. The McCormick School of Engineering (McC) and the Feinberg School of Medicine (FSM) have the largest shares, followed by the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences (WCAS).

Figure 3 shows the distribution of inventions by category. Therapeutics had the largest share of the inventive output. It is important to note that many inventions in the areas of chemistry, computer science, and materials are considered platform technologies with undefined markets. For example, a new software invention might find applications in the future in a variety of markets such as energy, consumer, and biomedical.

FIG. 4COLLABORATION BETWEEN SCHOOLS

INVO INVENTIVE ACTIVITY FY 2019 5

Boundary crossing ideas produced the most disruptive inventions, which are also most valued in the marketplace. Northwestern’s interdisciplinary approach is displayed by the co-inventorship activity among different schools and departments.

Figure 8 represents the gender distribution of tenured and tenure-eligiblefaculty and the percentage who disclosed inventions during FY2019.

Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences percentages represent faculty from the departments of Anthropology, Chemistry, Molecular Biosciences, Neurobiology and Physics & Astronomy.

As an example, the first bar in Figure 8 shows that 7% of the total female tenured and tenure-eligible faculty at FSM have disclosed inventions during FY2019.

In FY 2019, McC female inventors increased by 50% over the previous year. This increase contributed to McC female inventorship growing to 30% of the McC female tenured and tenure-eligible faculty.

BY PROMOTING DIVERSITY IN OUR ECOSYSTEM, MORE NORTHWESTERN INNOVATIONS CAN ENTER THE MARKET.

PATENTSPatent filing grew in FY19 and surpassed 500. Figure 9 shows patents filed in FY19 per school. Patent filing is consistent with the invention disclosure activity reported in Figure 2. Figure 10 illustrates the breakout of patents filed in FY19. Figure 11 illustrates that issued patents span multiple disciplines and markets.

Patent Types

Provisional patents: Approximately 60% to 70%of all invention disclosures are filed as provisional patents; approximately 50%–60% are converted into non-provisional patents within a year.

Filing a provisional patent application before filing a Utility application presents several advantages:

• Relatively inexpensive and allows the inventorto spend one year gathering more data, resulting in

a stronger patent application• Allows INVO to conduct a more in-depth

commercial assessment of the invention and identification of potential licensees

• Delays the formal filing date, which results in alater patent expiration date

Non-Provisional (Utility) patent applications: The filing of a Utility patent starts the official examination process with the USPTO to determine if the invention is patentable. The USPTO review of a patent application can take several years.

PCT applications: A PCT is an international treaty with more than 145 Contracting States. The PCT makes it possible to seek patent protection for an invention simultaneously in a large number of countries by filing a single “international” patent. A PCT application must be followed up within 18

months by entering into national or regional phases to more patents. Foreign prosecutions are very expensive. INVO files in specific countries (National Phase) only when there is a licensee for the patent.

Continuing patent applications (CIP): These are patent applications that follow and claim priority to an earlier filed patent application.

EPO Validation: Granted European patentsthat are in the process of validation in individual states.

Divisional patent applications: Patent applications with claims that were divided out of the original filed application and which must be re-submitted as a separate application.

COMMERCIALIZATION RESOURCES AT NORTHWESTERN

INVO INVENTIVE ACTIVITY FY 2019 13

Translating innovative technologies from the lab to the market takes time and resources. It’s an arduous and complex but necessary journey. The majority of advanced technologies out of the university, including computer software, electronics, medical devices and nanotechnology, requires research, market validation, testing, and much more to reach the public’s hands.

INVO and Northwestern University at large support the commercialization of technologies throughout the earlier ideation and proof of concept stages as well as the initial phases of new company formation. Resources spanning translation, diligence, and access to funding and physical space are outlined here.
