You do not need to worry that patenting will delay your publication. KU Lighthouse will work with you to plan both processes in the best possible way. However, it is essential that you contact KU Lighthouse as early as possible. It is not possible to patent something that has already been fully or partially disclosed publicly. We are therefore happy to help ensure that you can share your results without jeopardising a potential patent. A “public disclosure” may include: - articles - posters (e.g. for conferences) - PowerPoint presentations shared with people outside your UCPH research group - seminar presentations - public meetings where persons other than the inventors are present - YouTube videos - Master’s thesis defence - PhD defence
