Congratulations to Evograder, a SIKAT incubatee under the Emerging Technologies track!

Evograder brought home the first place in the Non-Food Category at the Regional Tech Pitch held at Pampanga State Agricultural University on May 27, 2025. Researchers and faculty from various State Universities and Colleges and Research and Development Institutions in Region III pitched their IP-protected technologies in both the food and non-food categories.

Designed for small and medium-sized poultry farms, EvoGrader is an automated egg grading system that uses machine vision to detect internal and external defects, such as rotten or substandard eggs. Its design is currently filed under Industrial Design protection.

The panel of evaluators included:
Dr. Richard V. Simangan, Assistant Regional Director, DTI Region III
Ms. Rubiriza dC. Resuello, Science Research Specialist, PCAARRD
Ms. Maria Andrea Gueco, Senior Economic Development Specialist, Department of Planning, Economics, and Development – Region III

Non-Food Category Winners:

Over five days and six campuses, the Technology Transfer Caravan 2025 journeyed across the university, bringing together faculty researchers and students to advance our shared commitment to research utilization and innovation.
From foundational sessions on technology transfer and intellectual property to insights on research commercialization and startup creation, the Caravan served as a platform for meaningful exchange, reflection, and discovery. Each stop reinforced the shared goal of turning knowledge into practical solutions that benefit society.
To everyone who took part in this journey—your presence, participation, and insights made this initiative truly impactful.
Thank you for helping us advance a culture of innovation, one conversation at a time.

Over the past weeks, our 3rd-year BTVTE students have been deeply engaged in the Conduct of IP Webinar/Seminar Workshop 2024-2025, equipping themselves with essential knowledge in Intellectual Property (IP) rights and protection.

The journey began on February 14, 2025, with insightful discussions on the patent system, copyright, and IP processing & documentation in the morning, followed by a hands-on session on patent information search in the afternoon. These sessions provided a strong foundation in understanding how IP safeguards innovation.

Then, on March 07, 2025, they took their learning further with Patent Drafting 1 & 2, where they applied their knowledge in crafting patent documents—an essential skill for future innovators and entrepreneurs.

Through these sessions, our students are not just gaining theoretical knowledge; they are preparing to navigate the world of innovation with confidence. Here's to a future where ideas are protected and creativity thrives! 🚀📜✨
