126、0 researchers and project leaders,the number of patent applications filed by residents doubled.An estimated 63percent of the total applications were filed with the support from TISCs.Colombia:Thanks to the support and guidance provided by TISCs to local innovators and entrepreneurs,3,249 IP protecti

127、on filings were reported in 2022,of which 207 were patent applications,266 industrial design registrations and 2,776 trademark registrations.Cuba:Innovation support services provided by the TISC network contributed to the registration of two industrial designs,five trademarks and five patent applica

128、tions through the TISCs in Camagey and Santiago de Cuba.India:TISC host institutions filed 134 patent applications and 136 other IP applications and succeeded in licensing or commercializing 53 patents for technologies ranging from augmented reality to building materials to treatments for psoriasis.

129、Kyrgyzstan:TISCs supported the filing of 17 patents and utility models,and five applications for software,copyright protection and trademarks.Mali:The establishment of the TISC network has led to significant improvements in the quality of scientific research,thanks to a better understanding of how t

130、o search and use information contained in patent databases and access to academic and professional peer-reviewed journals and books available through the Research4Life program.TISC/TTO network developments 18 Pakistan:Out of 376 patent applications filed by indigenous inventors in Pakistan,167 were

131、filed with support from TISCs.Philippines(the):The year 2022 saw an overall increase in IP filings from TISCs as compared to 2021 for:patents(+8.1 percent);utility models(+1.6 percent);industrial designs(+89.6 percent);trademarks(+29 percent)and copyright(+181.7 percent).With an aggregate total numb

132、er of IP filings of 1,854 generated by TISCs in 2022,a number which surpassed its all-time pre-pandemic record high in 2019(of 1,624 IP filings),it appears that TISCs have rebounded remarkably post-pandemic.Sri Lanka:A total of 40 patent applications were filed with support from TISCs,and 20patents

133、were granted.Uganda:Forty-five percent of utility model applications and 18 percent of patent applications in 2022 were filed with the support of TISCs in the national network.Uzbekistan:TISCs provided guidance on the filing of 407 patent applications.Regional initiatives scale up worldwide impact a

134、nd reach Regional cooperation has been important in strengthening national TISC networks and increasing their impact and reach.Initiatives facilitating the exchange of experiences and best practices to help TISC networks become more efficient and deliver targeted services have flourished globally.Re

135、gional networks have been established in Africa,Asia and the Pacific,and Latin America and the Caribbean,which provided important inputs to a TISC staff certification scheme launched in 2022,ensuring that the certification scheme is adapted to the situation and needs of TISCs worldwide.In the Centra

136、l American region,member states of the Secretariat for the Economic Integration of Central America(SIECA)met in Guatemala in October 2022 to discuss IP-related issues in the region.They emphasized the importance of prioritizing the revival of TISC networks in SIECA member states that have a national

137、 network(all members except Belize)to support the further development of the regional TISC network in CATI-CARD.Exchanges also took place among TISC networks in specific regions,with more advanced networks supporting the development of newer TISC networks,including through an exchange of experiences

138、 and training.In Kazakhstan,the national TISC focal point of Kyrgyzstan and the coordinator of the TISC hosted at Osh Technological University,Kyrgyzstan,shared their experiences and lessons learned with the newly established Kazakhstan network on the development and management of national TISC netw

139、orks and TISCs.In Viet Nam,the IP Business Services and Development Division within the DITTB in IPOPHL,focal point of the national TISC network of the Philippines,which has expertise in patent searches and patent analytics,conducted patent search training for members of the TISC network of Viet Nam

140、,in line with the objective of the ASEAN regional TISC network to increase regional collaboration and efforts to support and mentor TISC staff.19 WIPO resources supporting TISCs and TTOsAs TISC and TTO networks expand and provide more services to local innovators,WIPO continues to support them with

141、knowledge and learning resources as well as effective management resources.WIPO has developed a range of initiatives and resources to empower TISCs and technology transfer structures.These include publicprivate partnerships to facilitate access to technological information and the WIPO INSPIRE open

142、digital knowledge center,which provides researchers and innovators with access to a unique blend of information and knowledge in the area of IP and innovation,in particular on patent databases,patent registers,patent analytics,technology transfer and institutional IP policies.For the first time,WIPO

143、 has created a dedicated IP and technology transfer webpage,which offers a unique reference point for information and knowledge on technology transfer and institutional IP policies to support the technology life cycle,from inception to market diffusion and commercialization.It also provides access t

144、o the WIPO database of institutional IP policies with links to existing IP and related policies(such as policies on consulting,copyright,conflict of interest,software,open access and spin-offs)of universities and research institutions worldwide.To support the growing global TISC network in managing

145、national TISC networks more effectively,and especially to help TISC coordinators manage their national projects,coordinate and report on activities,the TPPM was developed and piloted from 2022.Once rolled out,the TPPM will also enable WIPO to follow up on TISC projects worldwide to assess and respon

146、d effectively to TISC network needs for assistance and capacity building.In parallel,a TISC host institution assessment tool was developed to support TISC coordinators in identifying the main strengths and needs of the institutions in their network and to help ensure that TISC staff receive the trai

147、ning they need.The tool has started to be tested in a number of TISC networks and will continue to be rolled out in 2023.Digital platforms and tools for access to information and knowledge Access to Specialized Patent Information(ASPI)ASPI enables institutions in developing countries to obtain free

188、The IP Policies for Universities and Research Institutions initiative has three main components,as follows.The WIPO IP Policy Toolkit was created as the starting point for universities to help them deal with issues such as ownership of IP and rights of use,IP disclosure,IP management,IP commercializ

189、ation,incentives for researchers,recording and accounting,and conflicts of interest.The toolkit comprises an IP Policy Writers Checklist,an IP Policy Template for Academic and Research Institutions,and Guidelines for the Customization of the IP Policy Template.In 2022,a draft Policy Template for Use

190、 of Copyrighted Works at Universities and Public Research Institutions was developed to complement the toolkit.The template is expected to be available in 2023.National customized versions of the WIPO IP Policy Toolkit have been created in 11 countries,with additional versions in development.The nat

191、ional versions integrate local laws,regulations and practices,and facilitate the adoption of IP policies on the institutional level and their harmonization for coordinated academic and industry collaboration.They can be downloaded from the WIPO IP Policy Database.In 2022,WIPO supported the creation

192、of national versions for Algeria,Jordan and Panama,as well as for El Salvador,where the project is ongoing.WIPO also provides project-based coaching and technical assistance to individual universities/institutions to support them in the formulation of effective IP policies calibrated to the local co

193、ntext,needs and mission.Since its establishment,the IP Policies for Universities and Research Institutions initiative has assisted more than 600 institutions in formulating IP WIPO resources supporting TISCs and TTOs26 policies.In 2022,support was provided to Belarus(11 institutions),Egypt(22 instit

215、tutions such as TISCs,as well as the relationships between them,to help users identify gaps in skills and competencies and design effective training programs for individuals and institutions at a national level.The resulting training needs assessment helps users design targeted training plans for th

216、e different stakeholders in the national innovation value chain.Following the publication of the WIPO guides on identifying and using inventions in the public domain,a complementary toolkit was developed to provide additional practical tools for refining new product and service concepts,building on

217、inventions in the public domain and bringing these concepts to the market.A multimedia digital training package on the toolkit was also developed and will be piloted in 2023.Publications in the area of technology transfer To boost technology transfer and commercialization,an Incentives Guide for Res

219、 help the universitys TTO expand,stay healthy and reduce turnover.In preparing the guide,WIPO conducted a worldwide survey(755 participants from 88countries)to investigate the internal and external motivations of both researchers and TTO staff,as well as to investigate the key factors and obstacles

220、to their engagement in technology transfer activities.Below are some interesting outcomes.The most frequent motivation to engage in technology transfer appears to be the desire to have a positive impact on society or to contribute to technological development,for both researchers and TTO staff.This

221、holds true for all the continents,with the only exception being researchers in Asia,where the most frequent motivation is the desire to get recognition for their work.WIPO resources supporting TISCs and TTOs 31 Whereas all the categories of respondents considered technology transfer equally as part

222、of a researchers duties,TTO professionals more than researchers think that technology transfer increases the quality of research.For TTO staff,stronger motivations lead to stronger satisfaction with working in a TTO.The most significant motivations associated with satisfaction are the fact that tech

223、nology transfer is a challenging,exciting and intellectually valuable experience and that it allows insights into industry trends(among internal motivations),and that it makes it possible to get recognition for ones work(among external motivations).Female researchers also tend to be more motivated t

224、han male researchers by the desire to check the validity and practical application of their research,but also by the possibility to get recognition for their work or to be considered for promotions as a result of their technology transfer activities.Younger researchers appear to be more motivated th

225、an older ones by the desire to increase their network of professional relationships within industry,and by the possibility of receiving promotions or monetary rewards or starting a different career.Similar associations are observed for researchers with fixed-term rather than permanent contracts.Publ

226、ications in patent analytics The WIPO Technology Trends(WITT)reports are flagship publications that track technology trends through the analysis of patent and other data to provide empirical evidence on innovation in specific fields.The resulting knowledge helps business leaders,researchers and poli

227、cymakers in their decision-making.The first report in the series was published in 2019 and focuses on trends in patenting of AI innovations.The second report,published in 2021,is the first large-scale overview and analysis of patenting and technology trends in the field of assistive technology,and p

228、rovides information about the state of play in technologies that assist people living with physical or cognitive impairments.In 2022,preparatory work started on the third report,which will focus on the future of transportation.The WITT reports were downloaded more than 146,000 times between 2019 and

229、 the end of December 2022.Patent Landscape Reports(PLRs)prepared by WIPO over the years have covered topics of particular relevance to developing countries such as public health,food security,climate change and the environment.In 2022,two new PLRs were published:one on COVID-19-related vaccines and

230、therapeutics,providing preliminary insights into related patenting activity during the pandemic,and one on patenting activities and related developments in the field of hydrogen fuel cells in transportation.Both reports make very useful contributions to the areas of public health and clean energy by

231、 presenting research and innovation efforts in these two areas,focusing on the efforts to fight the pandemic and the efforts to transform the Transportation Sector and put it on a net zero pathway.In addition to these reports,WIPO also provides access to over 250 PLRs prepared by other organizations

234、alytics,with the latter two being revised and updated in 2022.33 The COVID-19 pandemic has shown not only the vulnerability of the world to diseases but also the urgent need to cooperate on the global level and to reach multilateral solutions on equitable access to vaccines and medical treatments.IP

235、 and know-how have played an enabling and facilitating role as the foundation for trust-based collaborations among creators and innovation stakeholders:governments,business,academia and funding institutions.Prompt pandemic response was based on an interplay primarily between patents,know-how and tra

236、de secrets.A special COVID-19 response package was also launched by WIPO in 2021 to accelerate knowledge transfer and technology adaptation and to assist member states in ensuring rapid and effective sustainable economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic through an effective use of the IP system.

237、In this area of technology and innovation support,this response package translated into the development of a number of technology transfer resources related to accelerated life sciences innovation as well as resources and training materials on patent and technology search and licensing in the areas

238、of prophylactics,therapeutics,bio-analytics and bioinformatics for communicable diseases.New resources that are being developed in this area will include specific training materials on technology search in scientific and technical content using search tools available through ARDI and Research4Life p

239、rograms,training materials and reference documents on patent search for chemical compounds and biological sequences including evaluation of search results,and patent disclosure requirements,as well as specific training on IP management,IP valuation and technology transfer in the field of biotechnolo

240、gy.These training materials will be supported by resources that are being developed specifically for the Biotechnology Sector,such as an IP Valuation Booklet for the Biotechnology Sector and a Technology Transfer Primer,which will be integrated into the WIPO Academys distance learning course portfol

241、io.The IP Policy Template for Academic and Research Institutions included in WIPOs IP Policy Toolkit is also being updated to include specific issues related to accelerated life sciences innovation and to help institutions enter into cooperation,R&D and licensing Special feature:strengthening local

243、ntions to the level of innovative technologies in response to pandemics.Building on the PLR on COVID-19-related vaccines and therapeutics that was published in 2022,which provides early observations on the patenting activity that took place in the field of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics,and comp

244、ares results with clinical trial data for related candidate vaccines and drugs,an updated and extended version of the report will be published in 2023.A key factor for innovation ecosystems being able to respond to public health crises is also maximum availability and disclosure of genetic sequence

245、data for the development of diagnostics,therapeutics and vaccines.WIPO is contributing to the development of a Guide for Patent Searches and Submissions Related to Genetic Resources(GRs)and GR Data in the Life Sciences and related training modules.The guide will address in particular the challenges

246、for users with fewer resources and less patent information know-how to conduct prior art searches and submissions involving biological sequence listings in publicly accessible patent and non-patent literature databases.In this regard,the IPID will also compile and disseminate free and open-source da

247、ta sources and analytical tools for chemical compounds and biological sequences through,in particular,the WIPO INSPIRE platform,and identify new patent databases and patent database providers specialized in technologies related to prophylactics,therapeutics,bio-analytics and bioinformatics as potent

248、ial resources and partners for the ASPI program.These resources will be completed by the end of 2023.Building on existing resources,specific tools are also being developed to create a basis for a better understanding of the specificities of technology transfer processes when the subject matter is GR

249、s or GR data.In this regard,WIPO is also developing a WIPO Toolkit on Intellectual Property and Genetic Rights Resources Management.The toolkit will include an interactive GR licensing tool that aims to provide practical guidance for licensees and licensors who wish to license IP rights for genetic

250、materials and/or genetic data,highlighting important IP questions to consider during this process.It will also contain practical case studies and use cases,model templates and sample provisions,as well as an interactive licensing checklist to support decision-making in this area,intended for anyone

251、providing or receiving intangible assets related to GRs in the context of knowledge and technology transfer.An online GR licensing samples and templates library will complete the toolkit.In light of the particularities in the disclosure and protection of inventions related to chemical compounds and

252、biological materials and organisms,protection of test data,and the nature of trade secrets and know-how underpinning innovation in these areas,a reference document on these specificities will also be prepared.These tools will be completed in 2023.35Special featurePhoto:CEIPIOn April 25 and 26,2022,t
