KETAPANG—Politeknik Negeri Ketapang (Ketapang State Polytechnic) held technical guidance on drafting patent documents, Tuesday (21/11) in the Information Technology Workspace Room, Laboratory Building. This activity was organized by the Intellectual Property (IP) Center of Politeknik Negeri Ketapang featuring a speaker from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) who is a principal patent examiner, Ir. Syafrimai, and was attended by lecturer representatives from all Study Programs at Politap.

DJKI speaker Syafrimai said that preparing patent documents is actually easy if you understand the steps, especially with the available student resources, so that after this activity, Politap lecturers should be able to produce at least 5 patents each year.

Politap Director Endang Kusmana stated that this activity is one of the programs to build the quality and innovation of Politap lecturers so that research and PKM products can yield outputs not only in journals but also intellectual property rights in the form of patents and copyrights. 

The Director added that currently Politeknik Negeri Ketapang has produced 49 copyrights, 6 simple patents, and  2 standard patents as well as 1 registered trademark  and this event is an effort to increase the number of intellectual property rights to be registered.
