If you are interested in applying for Angel Funding for your new idea, please read these instructions carefully. Janus is now accepting applications for the spring 2011 Scholarship contest (Spring'11 JAIP Scholarship Contest).

To qualify for the JAIP Scholarship, you should type up a 2-3 page disclosure (the "Disclosure" form is linked for easy downling below) and submit it to Janus by the 20th day of the the last month of the contest period (e.g. You should submit a 2-3 page disclosure by December 20th 2010 to qualify for JAIP’s spring 2011 Scholarship. Put differently, if you want to apply to the JAIP Scholarship contest for spring 2011, then you will need to submit your disclosure by December 20th 2010). All entries received are reviewed to determine Patentability and eligibility for free patent drafting and prosecution under the JAIP Scholarship funding program. To enter your idea in the current IP Scholarship Contest, you should precisely follow each step below; starting with step 1, and then step 2:

If you are ready to start the JAIP application process, there are two steps you must complete.

1. Download the Invention Disclosure form to disclose and submit your idea to the JAIP Scholarship program. Remember, although this is an unofficial form that you will use to disclose your invention to Janus-Patents, our professionals will then use this disclosure to officially file your invention at the United States Patent and Trademark Office if you are one of the two applicants selected for Angel IP Funding.
IMPORTANT: This is a confidential form. You should NOT show it to competitors, nor should you engage in a business discussion related to the sale of your idea or future patent, until you have received official notification from Janus-Patents that your idea has been filed as a Non-Provisional at the USPTO.

Your email with your invention disclosure is kept confidential at Janus-Patents.

**Again, here is the Invention Disclosure form you must complete**

2. Next, click the PayPal button below to submit the application processing fee & finally, submit your "Invention Disclosure form" via email along with the $249 USD legal processing & application Confirmation Number (you get this number from Paypal). Please note: complete applications must include an emailed "Invention Disclosure form" as described above AND the $249 USD application fee. Each complete application is then reviewed by experts in the respective art and the top two applications* will be selected for entry into the JAIP Scholarship program. *Note: Each contest pool will be capped at 100 applications. As of 17 September 2010, Janus has already received 71 applications (out of the possible 100) for spring 2011. Once all 100 applications for spring 2011 are received, the current contest application platform will be turned off & further applicants must wait until the next contest platform becomes available.
