Gujarat Technological University

2 One Day Workshop for
Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on
“Patent Drafting Exercise (PDE)”

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Under the visionary leadership of Honb. Dr. Akshai K. Aggarwal, Vice chancellor, GTU has
successfully organized more than 25 faculty workshops and 10 student workshopson various
themes viz. “Patenting in Engineering”, “Patenting in Pharmaceuticals” and “Patent Search
Methodology” at different zone of GTU since September 2011 to till February 2014. In this
process nearly 3000 faculty members and 3000 students have been trained and make aware
about the basics of IPR and Patent in particular. Due to these efforts, within this time period 220
Patents have been filed by GTU affiliated college students and faculty of Engineering and
Pharmacy discipline. This number is higher than any IIT of our country for the same period. The
credit goes to the students, faculty and all the stake holder of research and innovation, who have
actively engaged in the promotion of IPR.
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. First such workshop was successfully completed
on 15th February 2014, Saturday at Ahmadabad where in more than 70 faculty from various
institutes have been trained. All the participated faculties have appreciated this new initiative of
GTU. In line to this GTU further plan to organize 2nd FDP on PDE for the faculties who could
not participated during first session. This time GTU asks all colleges to send at least one faculty
from each department to get participate in this 2nd FDP.
