The MOA signing was attended by Project Leader and USTP Claveria Grants Management Coordinator Dr. Renante D. Taylaran, USTP Claveria Chancellor Dr. Renato O. Arazo, and Vice Chancellor for Research, Innovation and Extension Dr. Eric Randy R. Politud.
The project aims to strengthen the University’s IPTBM system through improved intellectual property management, technology transfer, and commercialization of research outputs. Its activities include intellectual property applications and filings, prior art searches, updating intellectual property and technology inventories, and developing technology commercialization and communication plans.
It also covers capacity-building activities for personnel and researchers, technology pitching, and the establishment of partnerships with government agencies, industry, and other stakeholders. In addition, the project will assist research teams in preparing and packaging proposals for external funding opportunities.
Through this initiative, USTP Claveria seeks to enhance its institutional capacity to protect intellectual property, facilitate technology transfer, and bring research-based innovations closer to potential users and markets. The project supports the University’s continuing efforts to strengthen research, innovation, and collaboration with industry and development partners.
