I want to submit a research paper to an Elsevier Journal. There is also an invention disclosure associated with this work. I have got the approval of the Technology Transfer Office to submit the paper. Do I need to report anything in the Conflict of Interest statement?

    Why are you asking here rather than at Elsevier?

    No response from them.

    And why do you expect we would know better?

    Because this should be a common enough situation that many would have already been through.

    Just do a search of the other papers in the journal for "patent" and copy what they do.

If you intend to license a patent, this might be a conflict of interest. For example, the interest in getting accurate data might conflict with the interest in getting money from a license.

I recommend disclosure if there is any possibility someone might perceive a conflict of interest.
