Patent protection, a common legal protection method for technological inventions, begins with the filing of a patent application. Once a patent application has been filed, it may require several years and tens of thousands of euro’s to obtain an issued patent.

The 'deal terms' - as they are called, regulate how to deal with intellectual property and universities’ share ownership in spin-offs that involve a researcher terminating their employment. </p> <p>The deal terms are intended to speed up the negotiation process between universities and young companies, and thus to increase the chance of growth and success. The deal terms set out the fees and agreements around intellectual property rights. They are envisaged for situations in which a researcher terminates their employment and wants to start up a company on the basis of intellectual property deriving from the university’s activities. In accordance with the principles of the deal terms, these terms must be simple, fair and transparent.</p> <p>The use of deal terms will be monitored and evaluated periodically by the Knowledge Transfer Offices / Technology Transfer Offices (KTOs/TTOs) of the knowledge institutions in the Netherlands. For TU/e this is <a href="/en/impact/the-gate#c330361">The Gate</a>.</p> <p>You can find the Deal terms in the <a href="#c348829">Downloads</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="c359977" class="customTextMedia u-background--white customTextMedia--fullWidth u-sectionPadding " tabindex="-1"> <div class="row"> <div class="small-24 columns"> <div class="customTextMedia-content u-contentPosition--fullWidth"> <div class="customTextMedia-position--fullWidth u-margin--bottom"> <h2 class="customTextMedia-header heading--content u-hfs-xxl u-background-text"> Invention Disclosure Form </h2> </div> <div class="customTextMedia-text u-background-text textLayout--default"> <h3 class="contentHeading">Starting the process</h3> <p class="contentBodyText">The Gate begins the formal knowledge valorization process on basis of the <a href="#c348829">Invention Disclosure Form </a>(IDF).
