Dr. Rohit Kumar, Asst. Controller of Patent, Trademark and Designs, Govt. of India discussed on co-relation between patents and how to communicate it. He said we need to transfer the technology and explore the market. Beside we should know how to exploit those commercially.

Dr. P. Kartigeyan, IPR and Incubation Manager, CTTC-MSME IPFC and TBI, Ministry of MSME, Govt. of India said that small innovation has big impact. The students  should set out their goal for more innovation without waiting for the grant.

Dr. Rajbeer Singh, Centre for Studies in Science & Technology Policy, JNU, New Delhi said that we should focus for long-term instead of getting lost in short sighted vision. Missing of the Innovation, i.e. commercialization of the technology and bringing that into the market has to be the prime motive for the drivers ofIntellectual Property.

Advising the students he said, “if you really want to create your own technology and develop your nation, you have to change your vision and foresight for the coming 20 to 30 years”. You can be the driver of Global Innovation by realizing your patent and commercialization. You have  to meet the ground realities so that you can focus on commercialization and development of the final solution. Be creator other than Job seekers, he added.

We find the patent which is very relevant from the socio-economic perspective. It must percolates into our industry so that we get it through affordable, adaptable and available innovation and that is the need of the hour. Knowledge must be acknowledged as information diminishes with time.
