Patents

oficina.patents@upc.edu

Through our Licenses and Patents Office, we take care of the research results protection during the transfer process, and we participate in the valorization process in order to bring the technology to the market.

A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a process that provides, in general, a new way of doing something, preventing others from making use of it without the owner's consent. As a compensation, the patent is available to the public.

Advising

We help you in your technology transfer promotion.

Through the valorization team, we offer advice and services adapted to your value proposition and the different specific needs of each of the actors (researchers, companies, students).
