On-Line Invention Disclosure System And Docket System
An on-line invention disclosure system includes a user computer, a server and a database coupled to the server. The server provides user screens to the user to prompt the users to provide disclosure information to the server. The server receives the disclosure information from the users and stores the information in the database while allowing access to the database after storing the information on the database. The server prompts the first inventor to provide an approval and upon approval assigns a docket number from a docket number database.
