Dear All,
|
|
Gujarat Technological University (GTU) has been at the forefront of fostering innovation, research, and intellectual property (IP) awareness among students, faculty, and startups. In today’s knowledge-driven economy, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) play a crucial role in protecting and commercializing novel ideas, ensuring that innovators receive due recognition and benefits for their contributions.
|
Through the GTU Intellectual Property Facilitation Centre (IPFC) and various IPR initiatives, we are committed to empowering our students, faculty, and affiliated institutions by providing structured support for patent, copyrights, trademarks, Integrated circuits and Industrial designs. Our comprehensive IPR policies, training programs, and financial assistance schemes are designed to nurture a culture of innovation and IP creation within the GTU ecosystem.
|
We strongly encourage our students, faculty, and startups to actively engage in IP generation and protection. The GTU-IPFC aims to streamline IP filing procedures, provide financial and legal support, and facilitate industry-academia collaborations to translate research into tangible societal impact. Our DPIIT-IPR Chair SPRIHA , supported by the Government of India, is further strengthening the ecosystem by promoting IP awareness and capacity building across more than 350 affiliated institutions.
|
I invite you to explore the GTU IPR portal, utilize the resources available, and contribute to strengthening India’s innovation landscape. Let us work together to make GTU a hub of intellectual property excellence, where ideas transform into impactful innovations.
