Research And Development

As per the R&D policy of the Institute, a platform for encouraging filing of IPRs and patenting the products/technologies for necessary commercialization is very much desirable. With this objective, the Institute has formed the (IPRIC) IPR and Incubation Cell under R&D wing of the Institute. The main objectives and functions of the Cell are as follows:-

To help the faculty members in the patent writing and filing process.
To handle the in-house patent applications using a defined procedure.
To seek the help of federal expert agencies in the patent writing, filing and application process, and also in reaching to the potential investors interested in our technologies.
To handle the patent defense and infringement cases.
To educate and provide assistance to the faculty members about the commercial importance of their work and how it can be converted into a technology which can potentially be transferred to companies or converted into a commercial product.
To provide space in the Institute to the Incubators to help the faculty members and graduating students to start their own spin-offs and start-ups independently or in collaboration with an investor company.

The faculty members and students who have any queries regarding IP issues or are looking forward to file a patent may contact Dr. Vineet Kumar Sharma, Coordinator (IPRIC) at ipric@iiserb.ac.in.
