UNAIR NEWS The Institute for Journal Development, Publications and Intellectual Property Management (LPJPHKI) held a workshop titled Patent Document Finalization, aimed at helping inventors and researchers from universities and research institutions strengthen their understanding of patent documentation. The two-day workshop took place on October 1314, 2025, at Airlangga Convention Center (ACC), 51.
The program sought to provide participants with practical insights into preparing patent documentsparticularly in developing technical drawings, detailed invention descriptions, and product claims. The sessions were conducted intensively and facilitated by experts in intellectual property rights.
Strengthening administrative skills
One of the main speakers, Hanim Mafulah, S.Farm., Apt., M.H., M.Farm., discussed the importance of creating precise technical drawings and clear, systematic invention descriptions. She emphasized that patent documents are not merely administrative requirements but serve as a bridge for transferring technical knowledge from inventors to both society and patent examiners.
This workshop is intended to help participants fully understand how to prepare complete and legally sound patent documents. We hope it ensures their intellectual property is properly protected, Mafulah explained.
Driving innovation and competitiveness
In addition to the lectures, the workshop guided participants through drafting invention descriptions that meet international standards, including defining technical objectives, operational principles, technical effects, and implementation examples. Interactive discussions and hands-on sessions also helped participants refine their patent drafts.
The event concluded with remarks from Prof. Ferry Efendi, S.Kep., Ns., M.Sc., Ph.D., who commended the participants enthusiasm and engagement. He underscored the significance of such programs in cultivating a culture of innovation and ensuring legal protection for the work of inventors.
Through this initiative, LPJPHKI hopes to encourage more inventors at 51 to independently prepare patent documents in compliance with regulations. This effort is expected to accelerate the patent registration process and enhance the global competitiveness of UNAIRs academic innovations.
