Intellectual Property Rights in Higher Educational Institutions elaborated
Prof Akhtar in her initial address announced that the recent National Education Policy (NEP-2020) has put a push on incorporating skill development, ability enhancement, and a tech-driven approach in teaching-learning processes along with innovation and creativity. She further said that IPRs and patents are less understood by scholars. Therefore, mostly faculty members are unable to patent their creative research work. Also, the focus of academic institutions mostly stays in the publishing of exploration in journals. It is therefore crucial to create IPR awareness within the organizations.
She stressed that an enabling culture needs to be expanded within institutions, so that faculty members and students are conscious what of can be patented and what cannot be and they should know the processes of filing patents and significant advantages to the stakeholders.
Prof. Akhtar also informed the participants about the ambitions taken by the Govt of India and the recommendations of UGC to make IPRs as part of the curriculum in the academic organizations.
