Patent | 广东以色列理工学院首获国家实用新型专利授权
日前，我校申报的一项 “重金属污染土壤修复装置” 实用新型专利成果获得国家知识产权局授权，这是广东以色列理工学院获得的首项国家专利，标志着我校在知识产权保护迈出了坚定的一步。
该项发明聚焦土壤重金属污染这一世界性问题，基于受重金属污染土壤修复中微生物诱导碳酸盐沉淀原理，设计了一款可一次处理1000公斤重金属污染土壤的土壤修复设备。
过去几年，Varenyam Achal教授及其团队就土壤重金属固定化进行了相关研究。Achal教授表示，重金属土壤污染对生物多样性、农业生产以及整体环境和人类健康构成威胁。该专利有望为农田、电子废物拆解场、矿山尾矿和其它受污染地区的重金属污染土壤提供解决方案。
广东以色列理工学院借助以色列理工学院在技术商业化方面的经验，快速建立有效机制，鼓励研究人员将自己的技术发明和发现商业化，提供知识产权专利申报，新产品、新工艺催化、孵化等全链条创新服务。
学校建立了专业科技成果转移转化团队，积极对接科研团队及研发项目课题组，对关键环节进行把关，如申报前进行知识产权分析评议、签订合作协议、把关知识产权归属等问题，研发过程开展专利导航、指导高质量专利撰写等。
截至目前，广东以色列理工学院共有11项专利申请在审，其中包括7项国际专利。接下来，学校将继续加强创新意识，促进科技成果转化，助力地方经济社会发展。
A utility model patent on "soil heavy metal remediation device" was granted by the State Intellectual Property Office recently. This is first national patent awarded to GTIIT, marking a solid step forward in intellectual property protection.
The patent, focusing on the worldwide problem of soil heavy metal pollution, can process 1000 kg of metal-contaminated soil at a time utilizing the principle of Microbial Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) in heavy metal remediation.
Prof. Varenyam Achal and his team have been conducting research on soil heavy metal immobilization for the past few years. "Soil heavy metal pollution has posed threat to biodiversity, agricultural activities, the overall environmental and human health. Our device is expected to cope with metal-contaminated soil in farmland, e-waste sites, mine tailings and other contaminated areas," said Prof. Achal.
Learning from the technology commercialized experience at the Technion, GTIIT has established an effective mechanism to encourage researchers to commercialize their technological inventions and discoveries, and provided an innovative chain service of intellectual property patent declarations and new products technologies incubation etc.
A professional scientific and technological achievement transfer and transformation team has been set up to actively connect with the research teams. The team acts as a gate-keeper on key aspects, such as intellectual property analysis and review, signing cooperation agreements, ownership of intellectual property rights. It also helps with patent exploration and navigation, and guides high-quality patent drafting.
Up to now, there are 11 patent applications under process at GTIIT, including 7 international patents. We will continue to strengthen the innovative awareness, promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and support for local economic and social development.
