Reporting your invention is the first step in the commercialization process.

All inventions made by Johns Hopkins faculty and staff are reported through JHTV’s Inventor Portal. Only active Johns Hopkins faculty, staff, and students may access the JHTV Inventor Portal with their JHED identification to report new technologies and review existing submissions.

Upon receipt of a report of invention, our Licensing & Commercialization team works to understand the commercial strategy and, where applicable, to protect the intellectual property and secure a licensing agreement.
