IP Protection at the University of Bern

The University Executive Board has defined guidelines with respect to the ownership, protection and exploitation of intellectual property at the University of Bern to guide researchers in the transfer of their scientific work into products and services.

Technology Transfer Office UniBE

Unitectra is the organization in charge of technology transfer and helping researchers to protect intellectual property, to negotiate research collaborations with industry partners as well as licenses to technologies to suitable companies. Check the spin-off policies and other regulations to learn about the relevant IP guidelines and policies at the University of Bern and Inselspital.

To protect your discovery or novel technology, or if you have any question with respect to IP rights or licensing options, contact Unitectra.

 

Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI)

The Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI) is mandated to examine, grant and administer industrial property rights in Switzerland. Also, it supports innovators with various services and gives an introductory overview of IP rights.

Before contacting the IPI, we recommend that researchers at the University of Bern coordinate the preparation of the request to IPI with Unitectra.
