The purpose of knowledge transfer from the University of Ljubljana into the economy is to focus on the Slovenian and international environments, which is why we have established and further strengthened cooperation in technology transfer within the scope of strategic partnerships with foreign universities.
Dr. MARIJAN LEBAN Assistant Secretary General at the University Office for Research, Development and Intellectual Property
Activities concerning intellectual property included procedures to acquire and protect employment-related inventions. The Rules on the management of industrial property rights at the University of Ljubljana were revised and now include the University members employing inventors in the invention acquisition procedure. Furthermore, the Rules adopted in 2016 cover unprotected know-how that provides marketing opportunities to interested users.
In 2015, we received 12 applications for new employment-related inventions and filed six new patent applications in Slovenia and two in Europe. Notably, seven Slovenian patents were granted in 2015 for patent applications filed by the University in past years.
English content is currently being transferred to the new University of Ljubljana website. The transfer will be complete in the following weeks. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding.
