Have you created a new design, invention or process? The Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Team in ECD can provide support to evaluate ideas and to protect and develop them.

It is now possible for staff to submit information and ideas to the Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Team online through MyIP. This will replace the current Disclosure Form Word document.

Access the system at http://myip.staffs.ac.uk and follow these steps to create a secure account:

1. Select create new account. The password must be at least 7 characters including a non-alphanumeric character.
2. Add or update the Contact Details tab.
3. Submit information about your idea in the New Disclosure tab.

Following receipt of a new disclosure a member of the team will contact you about your idea and arrange an informal meeting to discuss it in more detail. Information provided will be kept confidential.

For further information contact Rachel Watmore on R.Watmore@staffs.ac.uk.
