What HKUST Researchers Need to Know about Patents
Patents are obtained by researchers for the purpose of monetizing an invention. Therefore, researchers need to consider the marketability of a patent obtained from their research early in their research process. This presentation will review the entire progression, from initial concept to marketable product, as part of the patent process.
Topics to be covered in this presentation include:
- Choosing a research topic that can get patent funding
- Available patent tools for HKUST researchers: Patsnap; Google Patent; USPTO; European Patent Search; CNIPA
- What is patentable – about novelty and inventive steps
- Writing the patent – interfacing with the patent attorney
