DigiHUBB invites you to the public lecture: How to be an inventor?

“Innovation is a key ingredient for economic growth. It translates inventions or ideas into services that create value and generate growth. An inventor himself and now a patent examiner, Johann Stan will investigate in this talk different types of innovation (disruptive, sustainable, etc.) and speak about the process behind the creation of inventions. A particular focus will be devoted to inventions in computer technologies and to the techniques to verify if such an invention is novel and inventive.”
