Intellectual
Property Rights & Technology Commercialization Cell (IPR & TCC)
The IPRs are a bundle of exclusive rights over creations of the mind both artistic and commercial. The former is covered by copyright laws, which protect creative works, such as books, movies, music, paintings, photographs, and software, and gives the copyright holder exclusive right to control reproduction or adaptation of such works for a certain period of time. The second category is collectively known as "industrial properties", as they are typically created and used for industrial or commercial purposes. A patent may be granted for a new, useful, and non-obvious invention and gives the patent holder a right to prevent others from practicing the invention without a license from the inventor for a certain period of time. A trademark is a distinctive sign which is used to prevent confusion among products in the marketplace. An industrial design right protects the form of appearance, style or design of an industrial object from infringement. A trade secret is an item of non-public information concerning the commercial practices or proprietary knowledge of a business. All this calls for comprehensive understanding and detailed deliberations on various issues and intricacies involved and hence a separate cell was required to address the underlying objectives. Therefore the University has established a separate Cell for the purpose of Documentation and Commercialization of Research. The Cell is named as "Intellectual Property Rights & Technology Commercialization Cell". The very purpose of creating this Cell is to ensure the `Commercial Use' of University's In-house Research and Technology-Outcomes to outside world. The Cell is expected to transfer University's intellectual property rights to needy organizations to promote active commercialization of University's inventions through a well-designed policy of the University in this connection.
