Intellectual Property Rights Cell at Haridwar University - Fostering innovation, protecting ideas, and promoting intellectual property awareness.
Intellectual Property Rights Cell
Intellectual property rights (IPR) are an essential part of the Research Council. The council advises and supports students and researchers in the preservation and commercialization of new ideas and technology that are worthy of intellectual property.
The council provides information on patent, trademark, and copyright legislation, as well as advice on how to safeguard sensitive information and trade secrets. The council also strives to encourage technology transfers by enabling the transfer of university-generated innovations to industry and assisting with the commercialization of new technologies.
Policy Statement
Individuals who created an invention or discovery while working for the University are eligible.
Purpose
This policy aims to specify the scope of Inventions, discoveries, and Tangible Research Property (TRP) covered by the policy, as well as the ownership rights associated with them.
It also encourages timely disclosure to the Haridwar University and Satyam Education Trust describes patenting and technology-transfer responsibilities, and explains how to proceeds for licensing.
Patents
Protection for inventions and technological innovations developed at the university.
Trademarks
Protection for brands, logos, and distinctive signs associated with university innovations.
Copyrights
Protection for literary and artistic works created by university members.
Preamble
Academics can create patentable innovations or discoveries through study and instruction. Haridwar University is devoted on research and using innovations. The University aims to benefit the public, and preserve the rights of its academics, staff, and students, and follow requirements for sponsored programmes.
Applicability
Individuals who made inventions or discoveries while working for the University, regardless of location or salary source, including those employed at affiliated institutions, are eligible.
Ownership of an Invention or Discovery
Haridwar University owns any inventions and discoveries to which this policy applies by the Inventors responsible for ownership of their inventions or discoveries.
If the University has a project agreement with a government agency or commercial entity, patents and licences will be handled according to the conditions of the agreement. Haridwar University's Patent and Invention Policy prohibits individuals from assigning, licencing, or transferring rights to inventions and discoveries to third parties. Only the University may do so.
Members of the Haridwar University community, when entering into agreements with parties outside the University, it has to be approved by the authority. Inventors must notify to the director, as well as the Innovation council, of any patents or inventions resulting from external consultancy arrangements.
If there is a disagreement between the Inventors and the University regarding ownership or the University's retention of rights, the Vice President for Research (IIC) or a designate will review the case in consultation with the Research council and make a suggestion to the Provost, supported by logic, for resolving the issue. Appeals to the authority must be lodged within thirty 30 days.
Obtaining a patent and releasing intellectual property rights
After the Inventor discloses an invention or discovery to the University, the University makes reasonable steps to assess its economic potential and patentability. We aim to negotiate appropriate contractual arrangements for commercial use. If the University believes there is a valid reason to proceed, it will apply for a patent at no cost to the inventor.
Inventors are expected to cooperate and sign necessary forms to get patent protection and for patents gained. If the Inventor consults with another patent counsel, they must shoulder all expenses, although the University is ultimately responsible for prosecution. If the University does not plan to file a patent application, it will tell the inventors within 60 days after receiving a detailed description of the invention.
Inventions or Discoveries resulting from sponsored projects
The intellectual property provisions of all research agreements are subject to the following principles:
- The Inventor may publish or present the results of a sponsored project, subject to contractually agreed-upon delays to allow the sponsor to review the use of confidential information and patentable information.
- In circumstances when the University undertakes to respect the proprietary character of a sponsor's data supplied to the University for certain restricted reasons, all project personnel (faculty, staff, and students) must regard the sponsor's data as secret.
- Any inventions, discoveries, or patents from the financed initiative will be used for the public benefit.
- Haridwar University owns all inventions and discoveries created by its workers from donated or supported initiatives.
According to the "Proceeds from Inventions and Discoveries" section below, the University and Inventor will split net profits from intellectual property generated under the agreement. If a sponsor's contractual requirements violate the University's Patent and Invention Policy and cannot be negotiated, the research council will consult with senior leadership before accepting the sponsorship.
Proceeds from Inventions and Discoveries
If there are many Inventors, the royalty share shall be split fairly. Their departments and schools/centers shall likewise distribute the necessary percentage fairly.
The allocation mechanism recognises all monetary contributions, including royalties and licencing fees. The University will pay a percentage of the proceeds from licencing inventions and discoveries to the inventor, their department, and their school or centre, after legal costs are recouped and certain expenses are deducted.
Distribution of Net Income
To the Inventor
Distributed fairly among multiple inventors if applicable
To the University
For strategic projects and operations
A 30% deduction will be made from gross licence revenue each year to cover Haridwar University's operating expenses, with funds exceeding the annual Haridwar University budget going into a quasi-endowment designated for Haridwar University operations, entrepreneurial activities, and research operations as determined by the research council.
Student Inventions
The University retains ownership of inventions created by undergraduate or graduate students for class assignments, including:
- Developed with significant contributions from the University, such as finances, space, resources, or facilities.
- Developed as part of a sponsored research arrangement with the University, has entered into a contract with a third party.
- Created as a "work made for hire".
- Constructed in partnership with faculty members not responsible for teaching the course.
A "work made for hire" refers to a work or invention developed by a student as part of their employment obligations or commissioned by the University. If students create or enhance ideas or discoveries allocated to the University or subject to the Patent and Invention Policy as part of a class assignment, the University will retain ownership of those projects.
