Every year since 2008, the “University-Industry Collaboration National Congress” and every year since 2015, “National Patent Fair” where University Patents are presented to the Sector are organized. These two events are united in 2018.
More than 500 University Patents are exhibited and presented to the investors up to the present at Patent fairs organized to support presentation of technology portfolios of the Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) of Universities to the sector representatives and investors, to create a synergy environment within ecosystem and ensure meeting of the universities and investors at the same point (www.usimppatentfuari.org.tr).
National Congresses are united with Patent Fair activities as of 2018. 10 RTTP Score equivalence is granted to this event by ATTP.
In 2015, USIMP has decided to organize an “USIMP Patent Fair” where patents for which patent applications are made or registrations are completed shall be displayed and inventions shall be introduced to potential domestic/foreign entrepreneurs and industrialists on the basis of the technologies produced at Universities to support introduction processes of technology portfolios of the Technology Transfer Offices to the representatives and investors of the industry and to enable the university and the investors to meet at one point.
In 2018, “National Patent Fair” is combined with the “USIMP National Congress” in order to increase the effectiveness of the event and to provide integrity in the effort.
