The Office of Intellectual Property and Technology Licensing (IPTeL) at the Indian Institute of Science is geared towards identifying and sourcing the IP at IISc, facilitating the steps towards protection of the IP, continuously safeguarding and prosecuting the IP, and finally enabling the commercial and social utilization of the IP, through appropriate means of licensing and technology transfer.
The specific activities and roles of IPTeL are as follows:
• Identifying the sources of Intellectual Property at the Indian Institute of Science;
• Inviting Invention Disclosures from the Inventor(s);
• Evaluation and Assessment of the above Invention Disclosure(s);
• Assisting the Inventor(s) with prior art search;
• Assigning appropriate Patent Attorney(s) to assist the Inventor(s) in drafting claims and specifications for the Invention(s);
• Informing the Inventor(s) of the various stages of progress during the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of the Intellectual Property;
• Assisting in the efforts of the Inventor(s) towards Technology Licensing, and other forms of Technology Transfer to bring the Invention to “commercial” and/or “social” practice.
Some of the interesting “inventions” from the Institute, and the accompanying “technology transfer” practices are highlighted in this paper. These include:
• Portable Washing Machine for Rural Areas
