ORKTS Webinar Series | Patents – How to Get Started as an Inventor at CUHK

In today’s knowledge economy, intellectual properties (IP), particularly patents have become important assets of organizations and companies in their pursuit of economic benefit and creation of social impact.  However, getting a patent is far more challenging than it seems given all the legal requirements and formalities to be satisfied before a patent is granted.

This seminar will first provide an overview of patent basics such as –

• the patent systems worldwide,
• what are patentable subject matters,
• common types of patent applications,
• strategies and timelines for filing, and
• issues to watch out as an academic inventor.

The second part of the seminar will focus on the IP-services provided by ORKTS, particularly professional services and university funding available for patent filing, and how ORKTS will help CUHK Inventors to navigate through the arduous and rewarding journey of IP protection and development.
