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?

1And why do you expect we would know better? – Andrés E. Caicedo Feb 17 '19 at 17:05

3Because this should be a common enough situation that many would have already been through. – yaska Feb 17 '19 at 17:08

1Just do a search of the other papers in the journal for "patent" and copy what they do. – user71659 Feb 18 '19 at 7:04

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.

I have made a quick research about this point and I can now say that the conflict of interest exists if you received any financial support, used resources of a certain association, hold shares, or work for a company that may be influenced by your paper.
If the situation is one of the above-mentioned scenarios, you should state it clearly in the conflict of interest section.
