Our Expertise

DITO offers IP advises to the faculty, students, support staff, or any client, who have developed an innovation, formulated a product, or written a creative work on protecting their intellectual property.

The DITO conducts seminar-workshops on the basic intellectual property rights and hands-on training on patent searching.

• Basic IP:  This module discusses the different Intellectual Property Rights, their characteristics and descriptions.  This enhances the capacity of researchers to identify potential IPs that can be generated, protected and registered.

The DITO performs searches for a specific technology to establish its novelty, inventive step, and patentability.  It can likewise perform state-of-art searches, which looks into existing patent and non-patent literature in a particular field of technology.  This prevents ‘re-inventing the wheel’ thus saves the time, effort, and valuable resources of a researcher.
