Abstract

Urologists must balance multiple roles as part of their work. In doing so, many will identify a need for new technology or areas of improvement for existing technology. In considering the ways to address the problem, the idea for a novel device may take shape. If the physician is interested, creation of a novel device or redesigning existing technology can be intellectually stimulating, collaborative and may aid the medical community at large. During Development of any device, documenting project details and progress is critical to protect one’s ideas. Prototyping is now faster and less costly than in years prior as a result of new software and fabrication technologies. In this chapter, we detail the steps to inventorship and important considerations that must be undertaken along the way.
