By inventions we mean new devices, solutions, process or modes of operation that can be protected by a patent. For an invention to patented, it must be new, inventional and industrially utilizable.
If you have this kind of an invention in mind, you can make a notice for Xamk’s innovation group. The group will confidentially process your notice.

The rights for the invention will not move under Xamk and will remain with the inventor/ inventors.
And with ideas we mean the kinds of explosive thoughts, that cannot be protected by a patent but can be otherwise utilized. These can be new business ideas, business concepts and social innovations. You can inform your idea with the same INVENTION NOTICE mentioned above. Each idea can receive a 100 € reward.
