The event was organised by the National Office of Intellectual Property of Vietnam (NOIP), under the Ministry of Science and Technology, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Australian Trust Fund.
Accordingly, the training courses will run until September 29, providing the participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to negotiate and draft technology transfer contracts, assess the prices of intellectual assets, and make policies related to technology transfer.
Meanwhile, the conference is scheduled to take place in the city on September 25-26, with a similar conference being organised in Hanoi on September 28-29. During these events, WIPO officials will introduce the “Hub and Spoke” Structure and officially select the units to participate in the project.
At present, the NOIP is connecting a network of 30 Technology and Innovation Support Centres (TISC) at universities and research institutes, of which 20 units have registered to join the project aided by the WIPO.
The Ministry of Science and Technology is coordinating with the relevant ministries and agencies in building a national intellectual property strategy in order to improve the country’s IP system that facilitates creativity, attracts investment and boosts technology transfer and popularisation
