Establishment of the Intellectual Property Assessment Committee (IPAC)

PolyU has established the IPAC as per recommendation of the Knowledge Transfer Committee of the PolyU Council. The IPAC, commissioned to improve the IP assessment process at PolyU, will work closely with the ITDO to conduct IP assessment and to provide advice on IP matters. Chaired by Ir Professor Ping-kong Alexander Wai, Vice President (Research Development), the committee consists of internal members from PolyU including Deans and Heads of all faculties and academic departments, and external members comprising a pool of prominent businessmen and industrialists from various industries in Hong Kong. PolyU has one of the strongest patent portfolios among the universities and research institutes in Hong Kong. With the establishment of IPAC, we aspire to further enhance the evaluation and management of our intellectual property assets and to significantly improve the quality of our patent portfolio and the commercialization potential of our inventions.
