Confidential University Research Invention Disclosure

Detects populated confidential university research invention disclosures: an invention disclosure / research commercialisation disclosure heading combined with labelled inventor, invention title or technical-description fields carrying real values. Phrase-only mentions (policy, process pages, news) stay discovery-only.

Type: regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Enforce tiers require labelled inventor, title or technical-description values beside the disclosure heading; blank forms (placeholder values) and guidance fail the placeholder guard and exclusion groups. Published patent abstracts share the field labels but lack the disclosure heading. Medium, not high, because internal research-office paperwork with the same headings can still match.
Jurisdictions: au

Should match

University invention disclosure Confidential invention Inventor: Morgan Teston Invention title: Adaptive water sensing material Novel feature: A responsive coating changes conductivity in water — Populated disclosure: inventor, title and novel feature plus confidential-invention marker (85)
Research commercialisation disclosure Patent filing pending Lead researcher: Jordan Teston Technology title: Low energy sensing device Commercial application: Monitoring temperature in storage facilities — Populated commercialisation disclosure with patent-pending evidence (85)
Invention disclosure form Lead researcher: Jordan Teston Submitted to the research office for review. — Disclosure form with a single populated researcher field (75)

Should not match

Published patent abstract Inventor: Morgan Teston Invention title: Adaptive water sensing material Technical description: A responsive coating changes conductivity in water — Public patent abstract - fields present but no disclosure heading
University invention disclosure Confidential invention Inventor: __________ Invention title: __________ Novel feature: __________ — Blank disclosure form - placeholder values (65 at most)
Policy guidance: researchers should submit a university invention disclosure before any publication. The form asks for the inventor names, the invention title and a technical description of the novel features. — Research office guidance naming the form and its fields without values
The university said research commercialisation disclosure numbers rose 20% last year, in a media release on Monday. — News / media release mentioning the disclosure type

Known false positives

Research-office process pages and training explaining how to complete an invention disclosure. Mitigation: Guidance and training framing is excluded and the fields in such pages are unpopulated, so they stay at 65.
Published patent abstracts and journal papers carrying inventor and title fields. Mitigation: They do not carry the disclosure heading, so the primary never fires.
