      • A New Invention Notification should be completed when something new and useful has been conceived or developed, or when unusual, unexpected or unobvious research results have been achieved and can be utilized. In accordance with the University of Nebraska Board of Regents Bylaw 3.10 and Policy 4.4.2, any such invention is to be promptly disclosed to the University.
      • Identifying all individuals who contributed to the conception or development of the technology is very important.
