Author:WHU Library  Date:2018-09-30  Clicks:

The day of September 26 witnessed the establishment of Wuhan University Intellectual Property Information Service Center. This institute aims to improve the public service network of intellectual property information, enhance the innovation ability and promote the “Double First-class” construction of Wuhan university. The center is affiliated with Wuhan University Library.

It is known that in 2016, the Planning and Development Department of the State Intellectual Property Office and the Science and Technology Development Center of the Ministry of Education conducted a research on intellectual property information services of 152 universities. Then the Office of the State Intellectual Property Office and the General Office of the Ministry of Education jointly issued the “Measures for the Implementation of the Construction of IP Information Service Centers in Colleges and Universities” in January this year based on previous research. In March, more than 20 chief librarians nationwide gathered at a seminar at the invitation of the Science and Technology Development Center of the Ministry of Education, discussing how to provide high-quality intellectual property information services in universities. Since then, colleges and universities across the country have given positive response by taking active part in the construction of intellectual property information service centers.

The center is expected to apply comprehensive methods and tools of IPR analysis to analyze the competitive situation of intellectual property rights in economic and scientific activities, especially the patents related to technological innovation. The center will also conduct evaluation, assessment, verification and demonstration on the quality of property rights assets, the rationality of disposal methods, and the feasibility of technological innovations. Measures will also be taken to propose necessary countermeasures to support the disciplinary development of WHU as well as related institutions.

After the opening ceremony, Ran Congjing, professor from the School of Information Management of Wuhan University and Gan Youbin, deputy director of the Library of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, had given an academic report on how to carry out related services in the library.
