The University Monitoring and Assessment Report for 2021, in which a general evaluation of 193 universities in Turkey was made in line with the data of 2020, was published by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). In the report, while analyzing the data of the universities actively operating in the 2019-2020 Academic Year in the categories of “Education and Training”, “Research-Development, Project and Publication”, “Internationalisation”, “Community Service and Social Responsibility”, results were obtained in line with four main categories and 45 sub-indicators. According to the report, Istanbul Medipol University was the first with 42 positive patent, utility model, and design applications, the second with 132 patent, utility model, or design applications, and the sixth with 22 positive universities with the highest number of accredited undergraduate programs.

MEDIPOL TTO: WE HAVE QUALIFIED PATENTS

In the statement made by Istanbul Medipol University Technology Transfer Office, it was said: “These data show that the applications made in our university are numerical and high in terms of quality, and the scientific studies of academicians and students are result-oriented. An extended period passes from the patent application stage to registration for an invention. In this process, correct writing of the patent is critical to correctly determine the scope of protection and claim rights in the relevant field in case of registration. Although patent applications have been evaluated and targeted quantitatively in our country so far, the emergence of qualified patents and the registration of patent applications are the most important arguments for having a say in the sector to which the invention belongs. University Monitoring and Assessment Report for 2021 shows that the Patent Unit in the TTO has put in an honest effort and has an actual portfolio of inventions.”
