  14. Summary and Lessons • Important to file disclosure with Tech Transfer Offices as soon as a discovery looks reasonable • Send copy of paper to Tech Transfer Offices on submission • Determine if Institution will apply for provisional patent • Determine if institution will file for full patent • If not - have the Institution assign IP to you • It is possible to file a provisional patent for around $1,000 • Full patent costs around $30,000 (angel investor?) • Beware institutional conflicts • Institution might side with entrepreneur • Explore alternative ways to fund a start-up • Need prospect of IP • Need approximately $5,000 to set up a company properly • Establish the Board (Treasurer, Secretary, President) • Make Company conflict-free as far as possible – have odd number on the Board
