Introduction

    The IPA Cell was established at Acharya Institute of Graduate Studies (AIGS) to facilitate Intellectual Property creation, dissemination, and protection. The innovation ecosystem of the institution is driven by the cell. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) have gained significance due to the increased research output in higher education institutions. India has great potential to become an innovation hub in the world. However, the nation still lags in the global innovation ranking. The IPR cell fosters a supportive process that enables an effective patent filing process in collaboration with a reputed IP firm.

    Vision

    To become a centre of Excellence in creating human resources in the field of intellectual property rights and establish a system of value-based knowledge in IPR.

    Mission

    • To provide IPR education to the faculty and students
    • To manage innovation and IPR within the framework of curricula in various programs
    • To contribute to socio-economic development through IPR.
