Once a Solver submission has been chosen as the winning solution, InnoCentive will conduct a Solver verification process where the Solver’s identity will be confirmed by receiving a photo ID, such as a passport, the Solver will be required to sign, have notarized, and return an Affidavit re-affirming the Challenge Specific Agreement they have signed, and InnoCentive requires on Theoretical and RTP Challenges that the Solver’s employer or academic institution sign an Employer Waiver document waiving any and all intellectual property (IP) rights that they might have to the Solver’s submission as a result of an employment agreement.
