QCRI applies for many patents


In a clear progression from importer to developer, Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) has applied for patents for more than 50 of its inventions and ideas from the Patent Corporation Treaty (PCT).

“QCRI, a premium research institute under the Qatar Foundation, will also launch soon a gadget named Doha CityBrowser to help newcomers get familiarised with the city,” executive director Dr Ahmed Elmagarmid told Gulf Times.

Some of the applications have already gone through the tests and might be awarded patents by the end of this year.
