In the 2009 academic year, Tamkang University implemented an “Intellectual Property Campus Protection” initiative. The practical measures applied under the scheme have now born fruit: the Ministry of Education recently conferred TKU with awards for “administrative supervision, educational promotion, and guidance appraisal” as well as “campus publication and photocopy management”. TKU is the only university to claim two awards in the Ministry of Education’s intellectual property evaluation. The awards were distributed during the prestigious 2010 Intellectual Property Symposium, at which TKU Vice President for Administrative Affairs, Dr. Po-yuan Kao, accepted the accolades on behalf of TKU.

In May of 2001, TKU set up an Intellectual Property Protection Announcement and Implementation Team. The team formulated policy and practical measures to help safeguard intellectual property at each of TKU’s campuses. The measures covered all aspects of TKU administration, including administrative supervision, lesson planning, educational promotion, campus-based management of photocopying, campus internet management, and guidance appraisal and rewards.

In the future, TKU intends to strengthen its protection of intellectual property, by increasing its promotion of intellectual property, enhancing faculty awareness of related laws, and implementing even stricter intellectual property regulations.
