National Institute of Intellectual Property
On 19 May, Qazpatent held a training webinar for the teaching staff and students at the Medical University of Semey on "Intellectual Property and Medicine".
The event was held within the framework of the IP Around Me campaign, timed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Kazakhstan's intellectual property system.
Qazpatent's experts covered issues of state policy in the field of intellectual property in Kazakhstan, legal protection of inventions and utility models, regional patenting of inventions under the Eurasian Patent Convention (EAPC), as well as commercialisation of intellectual property objects.
The webinar participants were interested in the differences between an invention and a utility model, the criteria for patentability of an intellectual property object, as well as ways of commercialising industrial property objects.
Such training events are planned for other higher education institutions in the future.
