For information on submitting an idea to Solventum, please view the Unsolicited Idea Submission Policy.
Unsolicited Idea Submission Policy
At Solventum, we listen closely to our customers’ needs to innovate solutions that move healthcare forward.
Our policy, however, is that Solventum and its employees do not accept on a confidential basis any unsolicited ideas, suggestions, proposals, product concepts and the like. The purpose of this policy is to avoid potential misunderstandings or disputes when Solventum’s products, services and technologies might seem similar to submissions provided to Solventum, particularly since Solventum has an extensive R&D program that is likely developing ideas and inventions in the same area as your idea.
You should consult your own lawyer and take whatever steps are necessary to protect your idea before submitting your idea to Solventum (e.g., patents, copyrights, or otherwise).
Terms of unsolicited idea submission
If you choose to submit an unsolicited idea, comment, or other information to Solventum, then by making the submission, you agree that the following terms apply, regardless of any contrary statements accompanying your submission (“Terms of Submission”):
- Acceptance of your submission imposes no obligations on Solventum, and in particular, no obligation to review your submission, keep your submission confidential, or respond to you;
- You are authorized to make the submission, and your submission does not include the confidential information, proprietary know-how, trade secrets, or other intellectual property of any other person or party;
- Solventum may use or redistribute your submission for any purpose and in any way, without any compensation to you.
