Submit Ideas or Inventions

Invention

Please keep in mind: Weyerhaeuser typically considers unsolicited ideas or inventions only when they are protected by an issued or pending patent. In addition, we rarely commercialize unsolicited ideas, inventions or collaborations – many submissions are duplications of past research and development. Others fall outside the scope of our business interests. Also, we employ engineers, scientists, and technical staff who are responsible for researching and developing new products, processes, and technology to meet our current and future needs.

Given this, if you have an idea or invention you’d like Weyerhaeuser to consider, the process you’ll follow involves:

  1. Understanding Weyerhaeuser’s requirements.
  2. Accepting our terms of agreement.
  3. Printing and signing the terms of agreement.
  4. Submitting your paperwork via postal mail.
  5. Waiting approximately 60 days for us to consider and reply to your submission.

If you understand and agree to follow this process, please proceed.
