TRAINING COURSE
IN PATINFORMATICS
Organized by
the World Intellectual Property Organization
(WIPO)
in cooperation with
the Directorate General of Intellectual
Property Rights of the Republic of Indonesia
and
the Indonesian Institute of Sciences
Jakarta, August 10, 2004
BACKGROUND
Patinformatics is the science of analyzing patent
information to discover relationships and trends, which
would be difficult to see when working with patent
documents on a one-on-one basis. Patinformatics has
developed very rapidly over the last few years, and
provides many useful applications in business such as
valuing business performance, targeting and valuing
merger and acquisition candidates, as well as for
directing research and development into the right
tracks. Therefore, patinformatics is a very important
tool to support the development of domestic
innovations and their commercialization.
The existing laws and regulations in IPRs will give
proper protection of IP and certainly they will attract
the flows of investment into Indonesia. However, if
this is not balanced with the improvement of national
innovations, the IPRs system will only give protections
to foreign IP. Therefore, domestic innovations have
to be developed rapidly and systematically through
several strategies, one of them is to equip the
researchers with proper tools to improve their productoriented
research, e.g. by educating them with the
ability to analyze IPR informations to help them
directing their research into the right tracks.
Currently, the number of innovations achieved by
Indonesian researchers is still relatively low. This is
reflected by the low number of patent applications
submitted to the Indonesian Patent Office (only about
3.4% per April 2003), the rest (96.6%) is still dominated
by foreign applications.
Based on the current status mentioned above,
the Training Course in Patinformatics will be conducted
in LIPI Jakarta on August 10, 2004.
