The cooperation between the Intellectual Property Office and the competition for the Best Technological Innovation has been intensified since 2021 by the organization of trainings intended for the teams competing for the best technological innovation to recognize and protect relevant intellectual property rights, primarily patents, as their priority.
The Intellectual Property Office, in the framework of this year`s Competition for the best technological innovation, held three webinars dedicated to the protection of innovations by intellectual property rights, namely: “Intellectual Property Rights with the Special Focus on Patent”, “Search of Patent Documentation in the Espacenet Database”, and “Drafting the Application for the Grant of Patent/Petty Patent”. These webinars have been held with the common goal and the wish to bring closer the concept of intellectual property to all the interested parties. At the end of the presentations, the competitors had the opportunity to get included in the discussion and the numerous questions showed exceptional interest in the protection of technical innovations by patents, as well as the realization of advantages over the competition, enabled by the protection of inventions.
