ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Under the visionary leadership of Honb. Dr. Akshai K. Aggarwal, Vice chancellor, GTU has
successfully organized more than 53 faculty workshops and 12 student workshops on various
themes viz. “Patenting in Engineering”, “Patenting in Pharmaceuticals” and “Patent Search
Methodology” at different zone of GTU since September 2011 to till February 2015. In this
process nearly 4565 faculty members and large number of students have been trained and make
aware about the basics of IPR and Patent in particular. Due to these efforts, within this time
period 301 Patents have been filed by GTU affiliated college students and faculty of
Engineering and Pharmacy discipline.
GTU has introduced “Patent Search & Analysis Report (PSAR)” as a part of syllabus for all
BE (Sem VII) students in September 2013. As a result of this, now students learnt that whether
their IDP/UDP projects are novel/ patentable or not. Now in the current BE (Sem VIII) semester,
student have to undertake “Patent Drafting Exercise (PDE)” as a part of their project work.
Therefore this workshop is designed, where in all those faculty members will be trained about
this new initiative, who have undergone training of PSAR in the last semester. So that they can
train the students of their respective colleges. Six such workshops were successfully completed
in the previous academic year, wherein more than 350 faculties from various institutes have been
trained. All the participated faculties have accepted and appreciated this new initiative of GTU.
In line to this GTU further plans a 7th FDP on PDE for the faculty who could not participated
during earlier sessions. This time GTU asks all colleges to send at least one faculty from each
department to get participate in this FDP, who had not participated earlier.
