CHAPTER 2
Intellectual Assets of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute

ICAR-IARI values and imparts due importance to intellectual properties (IPs) developed by its scientists,
students and researchers. Therefore, Intellectual Property Management at ICAR-IARI follows a very structured
process for management and protection of these IPs. This chapter focuses on the analysis of IP management
carried out at ICAR and includes data from ZTM & BPD Unit, ICAR-IARI. These data have been sourced from
the applications filed and granted for patents, PPVFRs, copyrights, trademark filings and commercialization.
Graphical representation has also been used for easy interpretation of the results of IP management and
technology commercialization.

Institutional Intellectual Property Management

1.A. Patent Application Filings and Grants
Patents are those licenses that confer a right or title for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others
from making, using, or selling an invention. The evolution of the patent regime at the national level prompted
ICAR to come up with its IP Guidelines in 2006 and its adoption has led to a structured process, which is being
followed at ICAR institutions. As a result of this increased awareness about IPR among scientists, active filing
of patents with commercialization of the technologies has also increased to around 100 patent application
"Millions of people toil in the shadow of the law we make, and much of their since the year 2000. The unit has constantly worked towards protecting the IP generated by the Institute
livelihood is made possible by the existence of intellectual property rights." under ICAR in order to prevent third parties from using or marketing the same.
The detailed list of patent applications filed by IARI along with the status of grants for the technologies,
where the applicant is ICAR (after 1972) from 1950 to 2020 is provided in Table 2.1.
