On the afternoon of May 27th, the third IP Seminar was successfully held at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU). This event was co-hosted by the XJTLU Intellectual Property Information Service Center(IPISC) and the XJTLU Library, with the theme " Exploring Intellectual Property Protection in Biomedicine." The event aimed to help biopharmaceutical enterprises and researchers establish a competitive advantage, promote technological progress and market expansion, and foster healthy industry development and technological innovation.
Intellectual property protection is critical in the biomedicine industry as a highly innovative and technology-intensive field. The event featured a special guest, Mr. Lei Liu, Executive Director of the Intellectual Property Management Center at Jiangsu Nhwa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. From the perspective of a pharmaceutical IP manager, Mr. Liu shared valuable experiences in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and patent layout protection in the Biomedicine field. He began by explaining basic intellectual property concepts and introducing relevant policies and trends in technology transfer. He then used examples from the biomedicine field to share practical insights on enterprise IP management driven by technology and commerce. Finally, he discussed the differences in patent strategies and layout considerations between scientific innovation and enterprise R&D through two case studies. Mr. Liu also engaged in lively discussions with the attending faculty, students, and enterprise representatives, imparting valuable practical experiences.
The vast number of patents and their extensive coverage in the biomedical field require professional knowledge and advanced search tools to accurately and comprehensively retrieve the needed patent information. Ms. Shuangjing Yan, a Biomedical Solutions Consultant from PatSnap, conducted a session on " Search Strategies and Practical Training for Pharmaceutical Patents," helping attendees understand methods for patent information retrieval throughout the entire research and innovation cycle and quickly get started with patent searching.
The faculty and students of the XJTLU Wisdom Lake Academy of Pharmacy widely praised the event. In the future, the IPISC will continue to offer a variety of training and seminar events to support the university's research innovation and technology transfer.
