In 2023, the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK) achieved a significant milestone by submitting 122 Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and achieving an outstanding licensing rate of approximately 14% with industry partners.
According to a statement from IIT Kanpur, this achievement reinforces the institute’s prowess in cutting-edge research and innovation, as it marks the institute’s third consecutive year with the highest number of IPRs in its history.This brings the total number of IPRs to 1,039 so far.
In 2023, 122 IPRs were filed, including 108 patents, four design registrations, three copyrights, and one trademark application. There are also four US patents and two Chinese patents. According to IIT Kanpur, 167 IPRs were granted and 15 technologies were licensed during the same year.
Prof. S Ganesh, Director of IIT Kanpur, conveyed his excitement, saying, “We take pride in sustaining the momentum with 122 IPRs filed, setting a record of over 100 filings in our institute for the third consecutive year. The institute’s dedication to advancing the frontiers of research and technology has led to this unprecedented number of IPRs, establishing the institute as a frontrunner in fostering positive change through intellectual contributions. The collaborative ethos among our researchers and the backing from diverse stakeholders have been instrumental in achieving this milestone.”
These patents cover a wide range of technologies, including MedTech and Nano Technology, and include innovative healthcare solutions such as a portable medical suction device and a continuous lung health monitoring system. Notable patents also include solid-state sodium-ion batteries and a low-cost Braille learning device for the blind and visually impaired.
During the calendar year, the institute saw a significant increase in the number of IPRs granted. A gas sensor for detecting ammonia at room temperature, a method and apparatus for treating industrial wastewater, a tactile watch designed for the visually impaired, and a lateral flow immunoassay strip for detecting mastitis in bovines are among the 167 patents. The IP and Technology Transfer Office at IIT Kanpur, according to the institute’s statement, plays a critical role in disseminating technologies from academia and research to the commercial sector.
The IIT Kanpur notice on New Milestones in Research & Innovation stated, “The IP and Technology Transfer Office at IIT Kanpur plays a pivotal role in disseminating technologies from academia and research to the commercial sector. The Office, in addition to filing the highest number of IPRs also facilitates increased technology transfer transactions. The institute’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the nation’s research and development landscape and a focus on delivering impactful inventions at the grassroots level have been key contributors to the overall increase in IPR filings for IIT Kanpur.”
