Public patent information, with clear boundaries

This website presents published patent information while keeping internal, personal, confidential, and unpublished material outside the public portfolio.

Information displayed on this website

The public portfolio uses information prepared for patent discovery and licensing conversations:

  • Published patent-document identifiers and bibliographic metadata
  • Inventor names as shown in public patent sources and reviewed Arabic name forms
  • Bilingual explanatory summaries, applications, advantages, and keywords
  • Public patent details, classifications, SDGs, and national-priority assignments
  • Patent-document identifiers that support lookup in official public sources

Information excluded from public pages

The data pipeline and page templates must keep the following outside the public payload:

  • Internal email addresses and correspondence
  • Correspondence-address fields from patent-system exports
  • Confidential invention disclosures and unpublished applications
  • Internal quality-review notes, evidence working files, and private source paths
  • Personal contact details without explicit publication permission

How the website handles visitors

The current website is a public information service and does not provide user accounts or accept uploaded documents.

  • Search and filtering use the published bilingual patent dataset
  • Contact actions lead to official institutional channels
  • No confidential invention-submission or file-upload form is hosted here
  • Standard hosting and security logs may be processed to operate and protect the website

Before forms or analytics are enabled

The university should approve and document:

  • Purpose and lawful basis for each collected field
  • Consent and notice wording in English and Arabic
  • Access controls, encryption, retention, deletion, and backup rules
  • Approved processors, hosting locations, and international-transfer treatment
  • A rights-request and privacy-contact process

Do not send confidential information through this website

Use the contact and disclosure-guidance pages, then confirm the appropriate secure institutional route before sharing unpublished invention or business information.
