An Invention Disclosure Form (IDF) is used to document an invention with (commercial) potential. It captures essential background information, including the novelty and current state of the technology or research field. The IDF is an internal document, used to assess the feasibility of a patent application.
Proof-of-Principle (POP) is a funding initiative by IXA/Amsterdam UMC. Designed to support the generation of additional data considered critical for: a) filing a successful patent application, or b) providing key data during a priority year and/or guided by a search report after initial patent submission.
Max funding €50k
Proof of Concept (POC) funding is intended to demonstrate the technical proof-of-concept of an invention, thereby increasing the likelihood of licensing the invention to an existing or early spin-off company. The submission may include financing a prototype or conducting a technical feasibility study.
Max funding €100k
Both funds may be granted throughout the year. Info: Ric van Tol (e.a.f.vantol@amsterdamumc.nl).
