Professor Dr. Thidarat Boonmart was quoted during her opening speech, “… with the support of the research base instruction, KKU is able to entitle many innovations from the research finding for patent registration. As a result, the more and more number of potential innovations from KKU have been commercialized by private entrepreneurs. The KKU INNOVATION DAY: COSMATICS DAY is conducted to broadcast the business promising intellectual properties of KKU to the market to attract potential operators who will negotiate with the university about the possibility to use KKU intellectual products for commercial gains. The event also inspires KKU current researchers to conduct higher quality research that can eventually be use for commercial purpose while the idea relating the presentation of the product to the business firms is also empirically presented to KKU researchers. Another objective of KKU Intellectual Property Center is to encourage more research products for the intellectual property legal protection”.
