IP is not only about an IP address, it happens so that IP stands for Intellectual Property. Today, we have World Intellectual Property Day. Did you know that protecting IP is crucial in our industry as we don\u2019t want our researchers to lose everything \u2013 the effect of their work, and years spent in laboratories to come up with a new solution? But truth be told, IP really is important for all of us, not just scientists \u2013 do you remember the story of Facebook’s beginnings? Well, keep it in mind.<\/p>\n
\u201eThe most common forms of protection are patents and trademarks\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 says our IP expert \u2013 Hanna Toczko. \u201eWhy is it worth to patent?\u201d \u2013 she carries on. \u201eIt is worth doing it to secure your innovative and competitive solution, which (thanks to protection) can be commercialized, e.g. as a license. Such an option allows you to raise funds for further research and development of your technology. In addition, a patent gives the owners of the right a market monopoly for a given technology, strengthens their position on the market, and increases their competitiveness against other entities in a technological industry.\u201d<\/p>\n That is why last year, we applied for two trademarks to protect our two brands (and now they\u2019re fully protected).<\/p>\n Both the above-mentioned trademarks were applied in both the European Union and Great Britain.<\/p>\n In addition to our trademarks, our main task is to protect\u00a0 innovative solutions under patent protection, below are the last 2 examples:<\/p>\n Pat. 240956: “Water-dilutable varnish with the addition of graphene oxide with anti-corrosion properties.” The patent is also shared with the Military University of Technology and \u0141ukasiewicz – Warszawski Instytut Technologiczny. It is a joint patent created as a result of cooperation with our scientific partners. Thanks to such cooperation, unique and modern ideas can be born!<\/p>\n EP3098198: “Production method of graphene foil with a pre-defined number of graphene layers.” This is our newest European patent! In the case of this patent, we decided to extend patent protection to other European Union countries in order to protect our solution more broadly. The possibility of extending patent protection gives us the opportunity to secure our innovative solution in countries where a given technology is developing dynamically, thanks to which we become competitive, and we also gain the opportunity to commercialize the patent not only in Poland but also abroad!<\/p>\n If you find this topic interesting, let us know as we can offer you an IP course!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IP is not only about […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":13574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[790,791,789],"yoast_head":"\n\n
