We provide support to scientists in every area and at every stage of commercialization – from analyzing whether a given invention has commercial potential, through the care of a patent attorney in the application process, to support in marketisation, including – the search for an investor. We also monitor the university’s work on innovative technologies and solutions to identify projects that may be of interest to entrepreneurs.
We offer entrepreneurs comprehensive implementation of commissioned scientific research, thanks to which they can increase the value and prestige of their offer and better adapt it to the needs of the market.

How to patent at UG?
Supporting researchers and doctoral students at the University of Gdansk in the field of patent protection is one of our most important tasks. We provide researchers with the care of a UG patent attorney, assist in the selection of an appropriate protection model and the preparation of a patent application. Research results are protected from the very next day after filing the application with the patent office.
For UG researchers who patent the results of research/development works conducted at our university and meet certain conditions, we can provide coverage of application fees, translations, patent attorney services, as well as patent protection costs. We encourage you to contact the UG CTT team for details.
1. Your discovery/invention
Verify your discovery. You can apply for a patent if it is characterized simultaneously by:
- novelty,
- inventive step,
- industrial applicability.
2. Application to TTO UG
We are here to help you obtain protection for your invention. Present it to us using the CTT UG Application Form and we will guide you through the entire procedure. You can patent: creations and substances, methods and applications.
3. Opinion of the UG patent attorney
The UG patent attorney, in cooperation with our team, performs a preliminary examination of the state of the art. This analysis allows us to determine whether filing your solution with the Patent Office is possible.
4. Choice of property protection model
With a positive opinion on the innovativeness of the project, we select an appropriate IP protection model. We also determine what the territorial scope of the patent should be (national, European, international procedure).
5. Patent application
The UG patent attorney works closely with you and your team during the preparation of the patent description and formulation of the patent claims. The very next day after you file your invention with the Office of the Patent and Trademark Office, it is protected - you can publish an article on it or present it at a conference.
6. Publication of the patent
Confirmation of the grant of a patent by the PPO is the publication of its description in the Patent Office News. So far, at the University of Gdansk we have prepared patent applications for 245 inventions created by UG researchers, and in 24 cases we have led to the registration of trademarks and utility models
