What makes an invention patentable?

An invention is potentially patentable if it satisfies all three of the following:

Novelty: The invention must be novel.

Non-Obviousness: The invention must not, at the time it was made, be considered obvious to a person of "ordinary skill" in the field of the invention.

Utility: The invention must be useful and beneficial. More info https://sciencepark.upm.edu.my/researcher/intellectual_property_right-6206

Will disclosure of an invention put at risk the right to patent protection?

Public disclosures such as publications, posters, lectures, abstracts, conference, etc., made prior to the filing of patent application will put at risk or eliminate the possibility of obtaining patent protection.

A patent application filed prior to publication protects the rights in your invention without affecting your ability to publish, and may be of great value to you and UPM in the future.

What is considered a public disclosure of an invention?

Anything that is readily available to the public that describes the basic ideas in enough detail that someone else would be able to make and use the invention is considered a public disclosure. Public disclosures can take place in many different forms, for example, journal papers, abstracts, conference presentations, showcases/exhibitions, publications on websites or even dissertations indexed at the library. Showing or telling these ideas may also constitute disclosure, as does selling or offering for sale a prototype of the invention. More info
