Patents & Industrial Secrets
Patents are a means of recognising and protecting the exclusive rights to exploit and disseminate the knowledge and innovation developed by a company. They increase businesses' competitive advantages, reduce the risks of violations and favour the access to market and the exploitation of innovative developments.
GAIKER has a current portfolio of 34 requested patents and three utility models. Likewise, GAIKER participates as an inventor in different patents requested by our customers as
a result of the Centre's collaborations.
In addition, GAIKER has 29 industrial secrets, three of them recognized as intellectual
property by the Department of Culture of the Basque Government.
In 2022 GAIKER has received support from the call for the promotion of patent and utility model applications of the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office in the Programa para Fomento de Solicitudes de Patentes y Modelos de Utilidad en el Exterior.
