On Tuesday, July 11, 2023 at the Auditorium Building of the Graduate School of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), a Patent Document Drafting Workshop was held that was attended by lecturers, researchers, research assistants, and students to get material on patent document drafting from the Main Patent Examiner of the Directorate of Patents, DTLST, and Trade Secrets, Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI). This activity was also the opening of a series of Patent Examiners Go to Campus Programs held at UGM, starting July 11 to 21, 2023. The next series of activities is Patent Document Drafting Assistance with the Main Patent Examiner and Intellectual Property Commercialization Discussion.
The Patent Document Preparation Workshop began with an activity report by representatives from the Directorate of Cooperation and Empowerment of Intellectual Property, DJKI, followed by remarks from the Directorate of Research of UGM, represented by the Secretary of the Directorate of Research, Prof. drg. Diatri Nari Ratih, M.Kes., Ph.D., Sp.KG(K). In his remarks, the Secretary welcomed the participants. Gratitude was also expressed to DJKI for their cooperation and it was an honor for UGM to be selected as one of 10 universities that had the opportunity to carry out the Patent Examiners Go to Campus Program. “Universities with their main task is to carry out the tri dharma in the fields of Education, Research, and Community Service to produce various innovative works that can get intellectual property rights protection,” said Prof. Diatri. The results of the tri dharma, in addition to obtaining intellectual property, also have moral rights and economic rights. In supporting efforts to increase intellectual property, especially in the field of patents, UGM has held Training of Trainers (ToT) activities for work units, training on patent document searches, and patent document search workshops.
The event was opened by the Head of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Agung Rektono Seto, S.E., M.Si.. “We are proud to be present at UGM to jointly build patent improvement, especially in Yogyakarta, so that the patents produced can benefit the nation, especially the people of the Special Region of Yogyakarta”, said Agung. In this activity, the DJKI deployed 2 (two) Main Patent Examiners who took the time for approximately 14 days to assist inventors in preparing patent documents. Agung hopes that this activity will be a stimulus for lecturers and students to become inventors who not only protect their inventions but can also commercialize them so as to provide economic benefits for both inventors and the wider community. “Hopefully this activity can run smoothly and successfully and provide benefits to others,” said Agung.
After the opening ceremony, the Patent Document Preparation Workshop was filled with exposure material from the Main Patent Examiners, namely Ir. Sinom Pradopo as a patent examiner in the mechanical field and Dra. Sri Sulistiyani, M.Si. as a patent examiner in the biological and pharmaceutical fields. The material presented was Patent Governance in Higher Education and Patent Document Preparation as a provision for participants in participating in the next activity, namely patent document assistance with patent examiners.
