CeNTI and Patentree highlight the importance of Industrial Property

“Industrial Property Protection: Good Practices, Strategies and Unitary Patent” was the theme of a workshop organised by CeNTI in partnership with Patentree. It was the second initiative promoted by the two entities, which intended to emphasise the theme’s importance in the scientific and business area.

The event took place on April 27th, in the auditorium of CITEVE - Centro Tecnológico Têxtil e Vestuário, in Vila Nova de Famalicão (Portugal). Participants had the opportunity to learn more about Industrial Property and its impact on innovation processes, strategies and good practices for protecting knowledge. The amendments, benefits and safeguards of the Unitary Patent were also presented.

The working session was attended by companies with innovations in Nanotechnology, Sustainability and Digital Transformation areas, which took advantage of the occasion to share their experiences.

The Green4Industry Project aims to promote scientific and technological knowledge transfer to the business ecosystem through demonstration, dissemination and valorisation actions of R&D results. The main objective is to stimulate demand by the traditional Industry for technological solutions that can leverage the development of value-added products, processes and services, and position national industries in the most competitive markets.

The Project is co-financed by Portugal 2020 under the Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalization (COMPETE 2020) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
