6. Reason for Setting UP IPR Cell
● There are several types of intellectual property, which a college
may wish to pursue
● These include:

8. OverView of IPR Cell
● People
● Resources
● Extended resources
● Partners
● Activities

9. The Patent Procedure

10. PATENT PROCEDURE
● Patent Application
● publication
● pre-grant opposition
● examination
● application Grant
● Post Grant Opposition
3 to 5 years

11. Invention Disclosure
What: written description of the invention
when: before public disclosure
How: by filling invention disclosure form
Implication: we need an in house facility for all
above

12. Challenges
● lack of awareness among inventors
● Valuation of technology
● Technology transfer
● attorney cost and patent filing costs
● jurisdictions
● renewals

14. The Process

15. Process followed
● Faculty makes a novel invention and is
interested in protecting it through a patent
● Invention disclosure form ( IDF) is sent to faculty
by IPR cell
● A thorough due-diligence and market analysis is
performed on the IDF and a report is generated

17. Process followed
● Awaiting approval for filing
○ yes
■ provisional application filled after execution of patent -
assignment agreement
● commercial due-diligence and tech transfer attempt
initiated from IPR cell keeping investagtor in the
loop
● drafting , filing and prosecution of patent
applications (India, elsewhere PCT)

18. KEY ASPECTS of Invention disclosure
form
● Explain how the invention is technically distinct
from and superior to the state of art
● what competitive advantage(s) does the invention
provide
● how the invention is performed
● relevant patent and publication

19. Process followed
● No
■ application not filed
■ The inventor may decide to file as an
