Lampung Selatan, 9 December 2025 — The Study Program of Food Technology at Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA) once again achieved remarkable Achievements through the Duta Paten ITERA 2025 event. The activity lasted two days, 8–9 December 2025 at the Auditorium of Building C ITERA, and the Food Technology Study Program successfully achieved the award as “the Study Program with the Most Active Role and the Best Enhancement in Patent Draft Quality.”
This award was presented as a form of appreciation for the contribution of the Food Technology Study Program in encouraging innovation, improving the quality of intellectual output, and active participation in preparing and developing patent drafts that have potential to be submitted nationally.
In this year’s event, the Food Technology Study Program was represented by Afrida Nurwulan, M.Si., a Food Technology Lecturer who followed the Duta Paten Quarantine series with representatives from various Study Programs at ITERA. During the two-day activity, participants received assistance in preparing patent drafts, strengthening the novelty of the invention, and practicing patent claim mapping.
All participants were assessed directly by Stefano T. A., S.TP., M.H., a patent expert from DJI, who provided a thorough evaluation of the innovation strength, document structure, and potential for sustainable patent registration.
The Chair of the Food Technology Study Program conveyed gratitude and appreciation for this achievement. “This award is a motivation for us to continue developing research and innovation that is useful for the community and has strong intellectual value. We are committed to improving the patent and innovation culture in the Study Program environment,” the Chair said.
In addition to being a competition and coaching event, the Duta Paten ITERA 2025 activity also aims to strengthen the campus innovation ecosystem, encourage cross Study Program collaboration, and prepare Lecturers and the academic community in producing inventions that are relevant to the development of science and industry.
With this award, the Food Technology Study Program at ITERA hopes that it can continue to contribute to increasing the number and quality of patents at ITERA, while also expanding the impact of research-based food technology innovation.
