IP / Idea Protection

How much of your technology and idea you must disclose

Required documents unknown

The announcement does not say what has to be submitted, so the disclosure exposure cannot be judged. the scope of the material requested is not stated. The awarding body is Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. 8 fields could not be read and must be checked in the announcement and the grant agreement.

NDA: Needs verification
IP ownership: Needs verification
Deliverable ownership: Needs verification
Data rights: Needs verification

Disclosure depth: Needs verification
File patent first?: Not applicable
Reuse of submissions: Needs verification
Publicity obligation: Needs verification
Exposure score: Needs verification

Safe to disclose

· The problem your product solves, and the market definition
· Your value proposition and quantified results (improvement rates, throughput)
· Anything already public: granted patents, papers, press coverage
· Team composition, capabilities and a summary of past delivery
· Architecture-level diagrams at module granularity, without internal implementation

Keep to a minimum

· Core algorithms: formulae, hyper-parameters and pre-processing rules
· Raw training data and the details of your collection pipeline
· Full source code and build or deployment scripts
· Cost structure and unit-price formulae
· Named customers, contract terms and pricing
· How an unfiled invention is actually implemented

Recommended actions
