The official name of the club in English is Student Interdisciplinary Research
Club of Patent Inventors, and its short name is Patent Inventors.
The main goal of the club is to make the students interested in science, research and creative work and to offer the possibility of creating inventions and patents applications of structural and technological nature.
Activity in the research club is oriented on increasing scientific, creative and popularising activity through the cooperation with researchers and social organisations, public institutions and enterprises both in the country and abroad.
Creating their own patent applications, utility models and trade marks, allows the participants of the club to develop their passions connected with innovativeness and creative thinking and to obtain practical skills of creating inventions.
As a part of participation in the club it is possible to obtain by the students the learning outcomes from the fields such as: intellectual property protection, management basics, entrepreneurship, work organisation and ergonomics.
The research club, considering its scope, receives technical sponsorship from:

- Patent and Standardization Information Centre of the Silesian University of Technology Library

The main method of
working with students is the so called mentoring in which a Team of academic
employees, representing various sciences and basic entities, shares knowledge
in the scope of preparation of the procedures of national and European patent
applications with use of professional administrative support – patent agents,
experts of database reviews
Students are incorporated in professional works in the learning by doing
process, become a full co-creators and participate in each stage of patent
application.
