A seminar on 'Getting Your Research and Invention to Market: Commercialisation Strategies' was conducted yesterday by the Office of Research and Innovation, Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD).

Daniel H Bell, US Patent Lawyer and Chief Learning Officer at Bell Certified, conducted the seminar for researchers and students. He teaches patent drafting, patent prosecution, and patent litigation processes to offshore teams involved with Fortune 100 companies as well as lawyers in the USA and EU, according to a press release.

Among a number of relevant issues covered, Daniel emphasised the importance of Intellectual Property, specifically patents with respect to commercialisation, touching upon a number of monetisation techniques, such as joint ventures, angel investors, scaled development strategies, subcomponent manufacturing, licensing strategies, technology licensing pools, packaged licence partnerships and market prediction innovations.

To date, UBD has filed 40 inventions for patent protection and 10 have already been granted.

The university is also closely working with partners Sengenics and Pixela to enhance research outputs. recently, UBD signed a Memorandum of Understanding (Mou) with Mindplus Education, a local tech start-up specialising in innovative IT solutions for learning needs.
