In considering ideas or inventions:
- We only accept submissions sent by postal mail and accompanied by a signed copy of our terms of agreement.
- Submissions should only contain non-confidential information. Weyerhaeuser assumes no responsibility to keep the information secret.
- Submissions should contain sufficient information about the idea, invention or collaboration to permit a preliminary evaluation. At minimum, we need:
- A generic description
- A description of the problem it solves or the product feature it improves
- Why it's better than existing products or processes
- How it might be applied in the marketplace and who will use it
- Typically, we only consider unsolicited ideas or inventions that are protected by an issued or pending patent. If you have not filed a patent application, a favorable evaluation is unlikely.
