This is all good stuff.

Note that the forms ask "is there anybody who may claim this work" or
something similar.  I don't think they're the last resort, but rather,
a tool to get things moving.

Talking to the appropriate folks at your institution is a good
idea.  I'll forward the forms that get everything started in a
separate email.  Then you'll have something to show the university 
Tech Transfer people.  If you have any questions, etc, please ask.
