Polman Babel students enthusiastically took part in the Simple Patent Drafting writing training which aims to increase their understanding of intellectual property rights and the importance of protecting their innovations.
Bangka Belitung State Manufacturing Polytechnic (Polman Babel) continues to be committed to improving the competence of its students by holding training in writing Simple Patent Drafting on Thursday (05/09/2025). This training is designed to strengthen students' understanding of intellectual property rights and the importance of protecting their innovations.
The training, which was held on the 4th floor of the Kuliah Bersama Building, was attended by 52 students. The participants received valuable material from experienced speakers such as Irwan, M.Sc., Ph.D., Yang Fitri Arriyani, M.T., Aan Febriansyah, M.T., and Indra Dwi Saputra, M.T., who shared in-depth insights regarding the importance of patents in the industrial world and technology.
Irwan, M.Sc., Ph.D., opened the session by explaining the basics of intellectual property rights. "A deep understanding of patents is very important to protect innovation. Without legal protection, the results of our work can easily be taken by other parties," he stressed.
He hopes that this training can increase students' awareness of the importance of intellectual property rights and encourage them to not only create innovations, but also understand how to protect them.
This training covers various aspects, from a basic introduction to patent rights to simple patent drafting techniques. "Writing a clear and detailed patent description will facilitate the patent approval process and protect innovation effectively," added Irwan.
"Yang Fitri Arriyani, M.T., continued with an explanation of the stages of invention protection, including idea exploration, patent search (prior art), patentability analysis, patent drafting, and patent submission. Each stage has an important role in ensuring that our ideas and innovations are protected," she explained. , while emphasizing the importance of understanding patent regulations at national and international levels.
Responding to student enthusiasm, Polman Babel plans to hold more in-depth follow-up training. "We want to continue to support students in developing their ideas and innovations. The next training will probably focus on more complex patent writing techniques and patent commercialization strategies," said Yang Fitri.
Aan Febriansyah, M.T., added that writing a patent is not only about drafting legal documents, but also about presenting innovation in an interesting and convincing way. "We want students to understand how to communicate their ideas well through patent documents," he said.
Indra Dwi Saputra, M.T., stated that this training did not only take the form of lectures, but also involved simulations and direct practice. "Participants are invited to draft their own patents with direct guidance from the speakers, so that they can understand the process and challenges in writing a patent," he explained.
"With various initiatives such as this patent drafting training, Polman Babel continues to strengthen its role as an educational institution that focuses on technological innovation and developing quality human resources, as well as pushing the boundaries of innovation to create graduates who are work-ready and ready to create," he stressed.
Selvi Mellani, one of the students who took part in the training, said that this training opened her insight into the importance of legal protection for innovation. "I have a better understanding of the steps that must be taken to protect my work," he said.
Selvi also added that this training is very relevant to the needs of the current world of work and provides a lot of new knowledge that can be applied immediately. "This really helps us in preparing ourselves for future careers," he added.
