All University faculty, staff and students are subject to the University’s Policy on Patents and Inventions. The Patent Advisory Committee advises the Provost regarding faculty, staff and student inventions on which the University may choose to file a patent application. The Patent Policy requires inventors to complete and submit to the Committee the Invention Disclosure Form. The Patent Policy also requires inventors to use the University’s form of agreements in connection with research with third parties and students. For additional information about patents at Montclair State University please contact the Patent Advisory Committee chair, David Rotella, or the Dean of the applicable College.
