Intellectual Property Rights

in

Concept:

KAFD provides financial support for the registration of intellectual property rights for applied scientific research projects financed by KAFD and implemented by Jordanian students.

Objectives: 

  • Providing financial and technical support for Jordanian inventors.

  • Motivating the Jordanian student towards entrepreneurship and creativity.

  • Finding a permanent institutional umbrella to sponsor the registration of IPR both inside and outside the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

Conditions: 

  • The applicant has to be a Jordanian, regularly studying in a university (Bachelor's, Master's degree or PHD respectively)
  • The invention has to have a new valuable addition to different fields of science.
  • The invention has to provide innovative solutions to problems faced by the Jordanian citizen or society.
  • The inventor has to provide a certificate or a recommendation from a well recognized institution (i.e: Royal Science Society, or King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau) emphasizing the importance of that invention.
  •  Provide a document for the invention, stating the idea, the objectives, the method of implementation, the positive impact, and the funds needed for registering the invention.
  • Submit two recommendation letters from experts in the field of invention.
  • Submit a CV for the applicant.

Process of Implementation:

  • All selected applications will be presented to a technical committee of  qualified and experienced members appointed by KAFD.

  • The committee submits to KAFD 5 applications yearly, recommending financing their IPR registration.

  • KAFD decides to finance the registration of these 5 inventions, considering the committee's recommendation.

  • In return to financing the registration, 51% of the IPR will be registered in the name of KAFD.

  •  KAFD may assist in linking the inventor with a private sector institution, to study the possibility of investing some inventions.

KAFD has registered two intellectual properties in the United States, and is aiming to register five new inventions.
