Invention Disclosure Management platforms manage the intake-to-decision pipeline for inventions — capturing inventor submissions, evaluating novelty and business value, prioritizing which innovations to pursue for patent protection, and maintaining records for statutory filing deadlines. Core capabilities include invention disclosure forms with structured fields, inventor portal for submissions, review committee workflows and scoring, patentability assessment support, prior art linkage, decision tracking (file/defer/abandon), statutory deadline monitoring, and integration with patent management systems. The category spans dedicated invention management tools (Wellspring, IAMIP, Deloitte PatentSight invention module) and invention modules within broader IP management suites.
