The program will be responsible for everything that has to do with intellectual property rights of King Saud University's affiliates, ranging from patents and technology licenses to copyrights and commercial labels.
IPP will manage all issues related to the intellectual property of KSU personnel, from patents and technology licensing to copyrights and trademarks. IPP will assist KSU personnel in filing and registering their patents and will vigorously pursue licensing of technologies developed in the university such that additional income can be earned and used to fund scientific research. IPP operations will be funded by two sources:
-
Allocation of an annual budget by KSU, the amount of which will be determined based on the volume of work.
-
Royalties earned from technology licensing.
IPP will give special attention to the development of a culture of innovation among KSU personnel such that the university would play an active role in the creation of a knowledge society in the Kingdom and the region. IPP will also work to increase public awareness of the importance of innovation hoping to help in building a generation that cares about science, innovation, and creativity. |
