On February 24, 2021, representatives of the Center for Technology Transfer participated in a seminar organized by the Industrial Property Office of the Slovak Republic in cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), where databases of patents, trademarks and designs were presented and made available by WIPO, as well as other online research tools.
In this context, the latest published WIPO documents have been presented, namely the publication Identifying Inventions in the Public Domain, A Guide for Inventors and Enterpreneurs, and the publication Using Inventions in the Public Domain, A Guide for Inventors and Enterpreneurs. Both of these publications can help researchers working at the University of P. J.
