Brawijaya University (UB) and the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights collaborate to organize Patent One Stop Service (POSS) activities to increase domestic patent applications. This activity was carried out online for nine days, 21-29 February 2024, through the zoom platform.
This activity provides the opportunity for lecturers to conduct direct consultations regarding their patent drafts with DJKI patent examiners. DJKI patent examiners will examine and provide direct input on the submitted patent application.
Director of the Directorate of Innovation and Science and Technology Areas (DIKST) UB Mohammad Iqbal, S.Sos., M.IB., DBA said, POSS aims at increasing domestic patent settlement and increase understanding, especially for academics, about the patent process and protection of intellectual property rights .
