HBKU is committed to nurturing innovative ideas that address real-world challenges and have high commercialization potential. If you have developed a new invention, concept, or technology, the Intellectual Property Office invites you to submit an Invention Disclosure. This is the first step toward protecting your intellectual property and exploring opportunities for commercialization.

By submitting your disclosure, our team of IP experts will assess your invention's novelty, applicability, and market potential. We will guide you through the entire process, from patent filing to technology transfer and partnership opportunities. Whether you are a student, researcher, or faculty member, your submission plays a critical role in contributing to HBKU’s dynamic, innovation-driven ecosystem. 

Once your disclosure is submitted, our team will work closely with you to maximize the potential of your invention. In addition to evaluating novelty and applicability, we will assist you in identifying the most effective intellectual property protection strategies, including patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. We will also help you connect with potential industry partners or investors to accelerate the commercialization of your technology. With our international network and internal resources, you will receive strategic support to turn your innovation into a tangible commercial solution, creating a positive impact for society and industry alike.
