On 5 November, KazGASA hosted a research and practical seminar entitled “Patent Protection of Intellectual Property: Forms and Mechanisms for Protecting Intellectual Property Rights”. The seminar was led by Zhalgas Tolybayev, a specialist in patenting, trademark registration, and industrial design protection in Kazakhstan and abroad.

During the seminar, participants explored key legal mechanisms for protecting the results of intellectual activity, the specifics of patenting inventions, trademark and industrial design registration, as well as opportunities to protect original developments at both national and international levels.

Particular attention was given to the practical aspects of registering and protecting intellectual property rights, legal mechanisms for preventing the unauthorised use of developments, and the role of intellectual property in research, education, and professional practice.

The seminar provided a platform for knowledge exchange and discussion of current issues surrounding the legal protection of intellectual developments. The information shared was particularly relevant to faculty members, researchers, and students working on their own projects, research initiatives, and innovative solutions.

Events of this kind contribute to fostering a culture of intellectual property protection and raising awareness within the academic community of the legal safeguards available for the results of creative and research activities.
