Zapopan, Jalisco; November 22, 2022.— Intellectual property relates to creations of the mind and grants a creator exclusive rights to their creation, patent, or design.
Intellectual Property
Recognizing the importance of this issue, the Guadalajara campus of the Universidad Panamericana began the intellectual property registration process in 2018 with its first application filed with the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) on behalf of Centros Culturales de México, A.C. Just one year later, in 2019, 10 more applications were filed, and by 2022, a total of 20 applications had been filed.
Quality and Good Management
Over the past few years, 18 applications were submitted to the State Council for Science and Technology (COECyTJAL) under the Intellectual Property Support Program (PROPIN), all of which were approved.
Two important aspects of this achievement stand out: the caliber of the inventors and the management capabilities demonstrated by the Center for Research and Applied Technology (CITA) at the Guadalajara campus, under the direction of Dr. Fidencio Tapia Rodríguez.
That is why we would like to recognize the researchers and inventors in the field of engineering: Omar Jiménez, Luis Amezcua, Fidencio Tapia, Oscar Sánchez Barba, Orlando Montoya, Leonardo Valdivia, Friné Velázquez, Carolina Del Valle, Fabiola Cortés, Gabriela Durán, and Luis Alberto Rosa; as well as the students who have participated in some of these projects.
Although the process of granting any form of industrial property right—whether a patent, utility model, or industrial design—is lengthy, two applications have been granted so far, and the rest are currently being processed.
