GTU

After successful completion of two days workshop of "Patenting in Engineering" at Science City, Ahmadabad during last week of September 2011, looking at the wider application of knowledge of IPR and Patent in Engineering field, GTU innovation council has decided to train and sensitize the need of IPR to at least 1000 faculty members across the state under GTU within current academic year. By the next year end we will have nearly 50,000 students who will complete their IDPs at Degree and Diploma level and going to complete their respective program too. Many of these projects may have strong potential of techno-commercial applicability. Therefore for academic researchers and students, it is needed to protect their innovation by filing Patent application. GTU innovation council has taken a step to sensitize Engineers and academicians to understand the concept of Patent & IPR, so that we can able to protect our intellectual property, develop our own technology for our country and also generate revenue from the research (mind to market), which ultimately helps to drive "Knowledge economy" of the country.GTU has set target to file at least 1,000 patents by the end of June-2012. To do so GTU Innovation council has drafted an algorithm of activities to be done at each zonal level to achieve this bench mark. This program is framed to train and motivate Engineering faculty members working at diploma, degree or master level institutes affiliated with GTU. Prof Akshai Aggarwal, Honourable VC, GTU has personally motivated engineering faculties for the above and secessions strongly relevant to IPR and Technology management will be shared by Mr Hiranmay Mahanta, MD, Techpedia in each of the proposed IPR workshop along with subject experts from leading public and private organization across the country. The workshops will be moderated by Prof Manish Rachchh and his Team.
