Mount Carmel Intellectual Property (IP)

The college’s IPR cell aims to raise IPR awareness among the institution’s stakeholders. It is vital to secure the Intellectual property to empower organizations to gain recognition and financial benefits. An educational institution must foster innovation, research, and provide a suitable environment in addition to teaching and extension activities. Intellectual Property Rights are required for thriving research and creative teaching methods ( IPR). IPR is critical in giving an institution a competitive advantage.

Objectives

  • To raise knowledge of intellectual property rights (IPR) among the college’s professors and students.

  • To provide guidance to academics and students on the importance of intellectual property rights.

  • Training program, workshop and seminar on IPR.

  • To provide information on applicable IPR laws and regulations.

  • Encourage Faculty members, research scholars, and students to participate in patentable work by conducting a novelty check on their IPs.

Intellectual property rights (IPR)

As defined by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create.

Types of IPs

1.Copyright

Copyright is a legal term used to describe the rights that creators have over their literary and artistic works. Works covered by copyright range from books, music, paintings, sculpture and films, to computer programs, databases, advertisements, maps and technical drawings.

2. Patent

A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention. Generally speaking, a patent provides the patent owner with the right to decide how – or whether – the invention can be used by others. In exchange for this right, the patent owner makes technical information about the invention publicly available in the published patent document.

3. Trademark

A trademark is a sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one enterprise from those of other enterprises. Trademarks date back to ancient times when artisans used to put their signature or “mark” on their products.

4. Industrial design

An industrial design constitutes the ornamental or aesthetic aspect of an article. A design may consist of three-dimensional features, such as the shape or surface of an article, or of two-dimensional features, such as patterns, lines or color.

5. Geographical indications

Geographical indications and appellations of origin are signs used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, a reputation or characteristics that are essentially attributable to that place of origin. Most commonly, a geographical indication includes the name of the place of origin of the goods.

6. Trade secrets

Trade secrets are IP rights on confidential information which may be sold or licensed. The unauthorized acquisition, use or disclosure of such secret information in a manner contrary to honest commercial practices by others is regarded as an unfair practice and a violation of the trade secret protection.
