Assisting the Government in Identifying Research Quality of Academic and Research Institutions

Assisting Industry in Commercializing IP
In order to assist industry in commercializing IP, we kept enriching the content of the IP Commercialization Education Website, which includes patent trend analysis of latest technology, experience sharing of technology transfer, and successful cases of IP commercialization. As to patent search learning, we produced videos including the 2018 Session on Patent Search Strategy and Application of Global Patent Search System, J-PlatPat (Japan Platform for Patent Information). At the same time, the website has a tech-matching platform built for users to log in and exhibit their patented technology. Moreover, the information will also be sent to Taiwan Technology Marketplace (TWTM) to enhance successful matching opportunities of IP commercialization.
IP Corner for SMEs
In 2018, we completed a brand new version of IP Corner for SMEs incorporating IP information provided by various agencies, and integrated the information into the existing IP Commercialization Education Website. The platform provided a situational interactive Q&A and full-text search function to help SMEs to quickly find resources encountering difficulties in the IP-commercializing process.
