What this invention exhibition agreement does
An Agreement For Exhibition Of Unpatented Invention Form records permission to display an invention before patent protection has been obtained. It identifies the inventor, exhibiting party, invention, exhibition purpose, and conditions for access or handling. The parties can define whether disclosure, copying, testing, photography, or distribution is allowed. The form is a private business agreement, not a patent application or patent grant. For U.S. transactions, electronic signing may be supported under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and applicable state law, including UETA or New York’s ESRA.
Who uses this invention exhibition agreement
Inventors and counsel

The agreement still requires accurate invention terms and legal review where confidentiality or patent strategy is involved.

A technology company exhibiting an unpatented invention can apply this workflow to route the agreement among inventors, counsel, partners, and event representatives.
