The Intellectual Property Office in the Philippines (IPOPHL) with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) recognized the need to equip Philippine universities and its researchers and inventors the required information and understanding on the value of their research outputs or technological innovations as intangible assets and converting them to tangible profits through commercialization. The process in other words is known as Technology Transfer and Licensing.
This training on “Successful Technology Licensing (STL) – Training for Technology Managers” was designed for the Innovation and Technology Support Office (ITSO) Managers and representatives from the different state and private universities in the country.
CSU was represented by Engr. Jeffrey T. Dellosa, ITSO’s Technical Expert, who is also a BS Electronics Engineering (BSECE) faculty member of the College of Engineering and Information Technology (CEIT).
It has been stressed that technological innovations as outputs from researches in the university are considered vital. It is considered today that in a knowledge-based economy, innovation is the most efficient means to sustainable economic growth. Protection of innovations and other related works of the university researchers through intellectual property rights ownership are deemed necessary.
These intellectual property rights in practice can generate wealth. This is where the work of the Technology Transfer and Licensing comes in between the owner of the intellectual property or invention and entrepreneurs from the industry to commercialize the technology.
The Successful Technology Training Workshop is aimed primarily to engage universities into licensing agreements with the technologies that universities have developed. Depending on the technology we develop, possible earnings for CSU or other universities can be significant.
