Venture Partners at CU Boulder is proud to unveil Sophia, the university's new portal for university innovators—a sophisticated tool designed to streamline and enhance the innovation disclosure process for inventions and copyrighted materials. This new tool offers innovators unprecedented ease of access and robust capabilities to manage their intellectual property (IP) effectively. Learn more about IP management with Venture Partners here

What does the Sophia Portal offer? 

• Effortless Submission: The Sophia Portal provides easy access to disclosure submission forms, allowing innovators to submit their inventions and copyrighted materials electronically with just a few clicks or taps. 

• Flexible Workflow: In the Portal, innovators can save submission forms at any point before submitting them. Whether they need to pause and return later or revise information, the portal seamlessly accommodates user needs. 

• Track Your Progress: Are you wondering about submission status? Sophia enables real-time progress tracking of submissions. Additionally, users can monitor all their IPs and agreements seamlessly, providing unparalleled transparency and control.

IP is critical in bringing university innovation out of the lab and into the market, also known as a commercialization strategy. Venture Partners creates and implements an IP strategy for research and creative works and helps innovators understand their IP rights and obligations as they work with various collaborators, research sponsors and industry partners. Venture Partners manages and funds IP for hundreds of university inventions each year, and the University of Colorado System is among the top 20 universities in the world for issued patents.
