National Institute of Intellectual Property
On 18 May, Qazpatent held a training webinar for faculty and students at the Kazakh National Agrarian Research University on "Intellectual Property as a Basis for the Development of Creative Industries in Kazakhstan".
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 intellectual property policy in Kazakhstan, regional protection of industrial designs under the Eurasian Patent Convention, patenting of IT solutions as well as commercialisation of intellectual property objects.
The webinar participants were interested in the ways of commercialising industrial property, the criteria for patentability of an intellectual property object as well as the timing of the examination.
Such training events are planned for other higher education institutions in the future.
