Intellectual Property Consultancy andManagement
With increase in development of new IntellectualProperty (IP) at various research institutes, universities,private inventors, corporation, R&D houses, theprotection of IP and their management has become themost important activity amongst the researchorganizations and universities. The Corporationconsidering the importance of IPR, has been carryingout several programmes successfully over the years forIP protection, creating awareness and providing allnecessary support for filing application for protection ofIP including patent search.
It is important to mention that in the present daycontext knowledge based economy, when many of theuniversities/research institutes has been looking fortransfer of technologies generated in their department,the Corporation has to build a relation with theseinstitutions to tap these technology resources. TheCorporation has been conducting such Seminars/Workshops with the universities/research institutionswhich provides a forum for academies, industries, R&Dinstitutions, and entrepreneurs to create mass awarenesson various aspects of Intellectual Property (IP) protection,its management and transfer of technologies and helpsto network with universities/research institutions/academics institutions for assignment of technologies.The Corporation‘s endeavor in this matter helps inwidening its technology/invention.
The Corporation has been playing key role inspreading the awareness and commercial application ofresearch and effectively transferring the results of suchresearch work to industry and pursuing with them for
