 Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Technology Transfer

# data[].attributes.body
In our lecture series, we explored the world of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Technology Transfer, two crucial concepts for entrepreneurs. IPR are like legal bodyguards for your creative ideas, covering inventions, designs, trademarks, and artistic works. Entrepreneurs can use IPR to shield their ideas, gain an edge over competitors, and even make money by licensing or selling their innovations.

On the flip side, Technology Transfer is all about sharing knowledge, skills, or technologies from one place to another.

Entrepreneurs can use it to tap into new markets, collaborate with fellow innovators, and contribute to the progress of science and society.

Here are some key points we dived into:

1. Legal Landscape:

Explored the laws in the Philippines that guide IPR and technology transfer, like the Intellectual Property Code, Technology Transfer Act, and Innovation Act.

2. Intellectual Property Rights Breakdown:

Delved into the various types of IPR like patents, utility models, industrial designs, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights. We discussed how to apply for them, keep them, and ensure they're enforced.

3. Tech Transfer Journey:

Unpacked the process of technology transfer, covering stages like identification, evaluation, protection, marketing, negotiation, contracting, and monitoring.

In a nutshell, we learned how to safeguard our creative brainchildren with IPR and how to share and benefit from them through the exciting journey of Technology Transfer.
