What are the funding available at the University for patent filing?
The University’s Patent Application Fund (PAF) is an internal funding scheme which seeks to raise awareness of the importance and benefits of Intellectual Property protection, and to encourage CUHK faculty members to seek protection for any intellectual property rights arising out of their research. The inventors may also use other funding such as their project funding (e.g., ITF), Departmental funding, or Personal funding as outlined in the Invention Disclosure Form to support patent filing.
