Innovation Disclosure Pipeline Health Checklist

Is Your Invention Disclosure Pipeline Healthy?

For attorneys and IP counsel, invention disclosures are the first line of defense in protecting innovation. This 15-point checklist helps you quickly benchmark pipeline health, uncover risks, and strengthen disclosures before they reach patent drafting.

For Outside Counsel

  • Use the checklist to advise clients on the maturity of their disclosure programs.

  • Spot disclosure gaps that will complicate drafting and prosecution.

  • Strengthen client trust by showing where process improvements can boost patentability.

For In-House Counsel

  • Use the checklist to audit your disclosure pipeline health.

  • Demonstrate reporting credibility to leadership and R&D heads.

  • Catch bottlenecks early, before they lead to missed filings or weak applications.

What You’ll Gain

  • How to tell if your pipeline is silently shrinking instead of growing.

  • Whether inventors are truly engaged or dropping off after their first attempt.

  • Where disclosures are most likely to stall before they reach you.

Designed for Legal Professionals

This isn’t a generic productivity template.
 It’s built for attorneys, outside counsel advising clients and in-house counsel managing IP programs.
Use it as an internal audit tool, a client advisory framework, or simply to validate that your current process is on track.

Beyond the checklist

This framework is a strong starting point. But once you’re handling dozens of disclosures, managing them in Word, PDFs, or spreadsheets becomes a liability.

That’s where InspireIP comes in:
 Secure idea capture → structured disclosure → seamless attorney handoff.
