We are now wrapping up the second edition of the IP Drive. The launch of the next edition of IP Drive is scheduled in July, 2015 when we regroup after summer break and there is infusion of new blood of UG / PG students. Presented below a summary of patents filed in this period. We received more than 100 invention disclosures of which 63 patents are filed / in the process of being filed. We can see from the pie chart that the interdisciplinary basket outnumbers others. In this, researchers of more than one Dept. /School / Centre come together for developing an innovative solution.
In parallel, with the help of our innovators, we are trying to give better visibility of these technologies - why they are better than competing technologies, how industry can benefit from it etc. through another student led initiative. In this, Technology Transfer Group (TTG) students with the help of IPR & IR office prepare content of this blog (Link). We are trying to populate it with more and more of our technologies and reach out to our target audience to effect technology transfer.
This edition of patent drive created useful resources which we share publicly for the benefit of not only our own researchers but all. The IP Drive workshop videos on basics of patenting, patent search, document preparation and interactive session with experts are available in our youtube channel www.youtube.com/user/IITKGPSRIC as a playlist which can be accessed by clicking following link.
The IP submission portal remains functional during the summer break and each submission will be duly evaluated, the pace may be little slower as it would be subjected to availability of concerned experts. The submission of Annexures at IPR & IR office and other activities will continue in full swing and will try to match our researchers use of the summer solitude in enhancing R&D output of their lab.s.
Finally, the IP activity of IIT Kharagpur drew attention of a leading magazine Career360 to have interview of PIC, IPR & IR in 'Expert Speak' column of the magazine's University Special edition (March, 2015).
