Technology and Innovation Support Center (TISC)

Bridging innovators from mind to market

What are TISCs?

Established by WIPO in 2009, TISCs are Technology and Innovation Support Centers present in more than 90 countries, supporting innovators around the world to help unlock their innovative potential, to create, protect, and manage their intellectual property (IP) rights. Hosted in private and public institutions such as patent offices, universities, research centers, science and technology parks, and chambers of commerce, TISCs are driving innovation from within knowledge centers and technology hubs.

Across the various stages of the innovation process—from research to service design and product development, to IP creation, protection, valorization, and commercialization—TISCs offer a wide range of services that benefit individual inventors and other innovation actors including startups, university spin-offs, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
These services may include:
  • Access to online patent and non-patent resources (scientific and technical).
  • Access to other IP-related publications.
  • Assistance in searching and retrieving technology information.
  • On-demand Specialty Searches and Reports (e.g., Novelty / Patentability Search, State-of-the-Art Search, Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search, Validity / Invalidity, Infringement).
  • Training on various topics such as: IP fundamentals, database search, patent drafting.
  • Assistance with Patent filing and prosecution.
  • Monitoring Technology Trends and generating Patent Landscape Report (PLR).
  • Providing basic information and training on IP laws, IP Policies, Technology Transfer, commercialization strategies, and IP management.
Since January 2014, the TISC Program has been fully mainstreamed within the regular activities of WIPO. The IP for Innovators Department manages the Global TISC network program, providing technical assistance, conducting capacity-building training activities, and producing bespoke publications, toolkits, and guides for the development of the IP ecosystem, particularly in developing and least developed countries where TISCs operate.

在世界各地，各国都在增加研发投资。然而，从研究到产品的过程具有挑战性，从研究投资中获得经济成果需要技术知识、深厚的专业知识以及研究人员、企业和政府之间的密切联系。TISC通过两种方式帮助简化从研究到产品的这一过程。TISC提供强大的工具来提供知识和建立专长，而且它们了解创新生态系统不同利益攸关方的当地情况，使其能够更好地相互联系，并从这种联系中创造奇迹。
