In the inventors section you will be asked to provide the names and contact details of co-inventors (both Kent State and non-KSU contributors) as well as the percentage of their contribution. To add a KSU inventor click “Add Inventor” above the table.
Use the search box in the upper right-hand corner of the window to search for your inventor. If you do not see them, click “Add a new contact” and fill out their name and contact information.
Once added adjust the contribution levels of each row so the total contribution from KSU inventors adds to 100%. If you need to add any non-KSU inventors choose yes in the corresponding drop-down. You put the percentage contribution of KSU inventors in the first box. The next box is the combined total contribution percentage of non-KSU inventors. The contribution of KSU and non-KSU inventors should add up to 100%.
Next you will be able to provide the full name and basic contact information about up to two non-KSU inventors. Please assign a contribution percentage to each one totaling 100%. For example, if you only have one non-KSU inventor their contribution is 100%. If you have two, their contributions could be 60% for non-KSU contributor 1 and 40% for non-KSU contributor 2.
