A Manual

Entrepreneurship Development and IPR Unit

BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY & SCIENCE, Pilani

 

This manual provides guidelines relating to the procedure of filing patents applications in India. The manual takes care of amendments that have been brought out in the Patents Act from time to time including   new provisions of the law viz. The Patents Act, 1970 as amended by the Patents (Amendment) Act of 1999, the Patents Amendment Act 2002, and further, by the Patents (Amendment) Ordinance 2004 Act 2005. The main purpose is to create awareness amongst the faculty members and researchers about   patents system in India and to provide user friendly guidelines for obtaining and maintaining patents under the existing Patents law. It is expected that this manual will be of significant help to people involved in   innovation and invention activities towards protecting their intellectual property rights arising as an outcome of their efforts.

 

This is only a preliminary step towards creating awareness about Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Suggestions for improving the quality of the manual are welcome.
