Patenting at the OVGU
We see ourselves as a central communication and service point for both the university and the economy, we provide contacts, reference persons and exploit research results. Together with the scientists and researchers, idea-based procedures for the application for intellectual property rights and exploitation will be developed in the following steps:
- Prior art research conducted from the Patent Information Center (PIZ),
- Evaluation of ideas compared to the current state of art,
- Definition of the registration strategie, taking into account the researchers' interest in publishing,
- Drafting, filing and monitoring of the application for intellectual property rights, if necessary in cooperation with external patent attorneys,
- Locating potential users and negotiating for the purpose of concluding contracts (licensing, sale, spin-off)
Comprehensive research of the state of art can be provided to you by the Patent Information Center (PIZ) of the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg
Processes and steps for securing intellectual properties at the Otto von Guericke University are shown below.
