Where people who create ideas meet the people who protect them.
A professional community for students, faculty, researchers, independent innovators, institutional IP Cells, industry and MYCrave clients. Work on real problems, learn intellectual property properly, and give every idea a confidential, professional review.
Run by MYCrave Consultancy & Services, an IP practice led by a Registered Patent Agent.
One community, built around the people an idea needs.
Everyone uses the same account and lands on a home page made for them. You only ever see what is yours: an institution's private chapter, a client's filings and a member's ideas stay with the people they belong to.
Take a look around before you join.
Each area below opens straight into the live community. The previews use sample data; the demo lets you click through as a student, an IP Cell coordinator, a client or an innovator.
A professional network with focused spaces
Profiles that show what you work on, connections, messages and a feed of questions, progress and useful posts. Topic spaces keep conversations focused, and every institution has its own chapter.
- Verified-by-MYCrave badges once a profile is checked
- Spaces for agriculture, health, energy, software and AI, design and manufacturing, IP basics and more
- Posts from MYCrave staff carry a MYCrave team tag
Real problems, labelled by the evidence behind them
A problem and challenge bank with student challenges, institutional and industry problems, public-interest problems and research topics. The MYCrave Open Innovation Challenge never closes: entries are reviewed monthly and useful contributions are recognised.
- Filter by sector, type and difficulty
- Form a team around a problem
- Sponsored and institutional challenges with published criteria
IP Readiness School, quizzes and certificates
Learning journeys for students, faculty, innovators, founders and industry: find a real problem, research it, search the prior art, read a patent, understand ownership and choose the right protection. Progress is tracked and completion earns a verifiable certificate.
- Journeys with assignments, exercises and milestones
- Practice quizzes with an explanation after every answer
- Certificates anyone can verify online
A public page and a private chapter for every institution
Participating colleges, universities and organisations get a public page and a private workspace. IP Cells run with MYCrave are marked. Coordinators approve who joins and review ideas from their members.
- Membership is approved, never granted by typing a college name
- MYCrave verifies the organisation and its representative
- Students can link a filing from an IP Cell session with a claim code
Opportunities, with their source and eligibility
Innovation-based hiring, internships and research roles; Adopt a Patent and Adopt an Innovator; licensing and technology transfer; grants, incubators and fellowships with their original source. Listings appear as partners publish them.
- Patent to Product: from research to prototype, pilot and market
- A technology reuse bank of expired, lapsed and withdrawn patents
- Industry partners can post needs and offers
MYCrave clients: your filings on the same account
Sign in with the mobile number or email on your client file and your matters appear on your member account: the stage of each filing, what is waiting on you, invoices due and your documents. Actions open the secure client portal.
- Client information is never shown to other members
- Pay a MYCrave invoice online
- Start a new NDA before sharing an invention

MYCrave has set up IP Cells at colleges across India. In the community, each participating institution has a public page that shows what it works on, and a private chapter where its students and faculty collaborate.
- Students from one institution never see another institution's private chapter
- MYCrave verifies the organisation and your authority to represent it before the verified badge appears
- Coordinators approve members, review ideas and confirm filing claims
- Students see a filing's title, number and stage, never fees, documents or client details

Joining costs nothing; searches and filings are quoted separately by MYCrave. Because the community is run by an IP practice, invention disclosures, agreements and personal details stay private, and a public summary needs your separate permission.
- One account and one sign-in across MYCrave, with a home page made for your role
- Submit an idea in confidence for review by a MYCrave IP professional
- Honest labels: an idea, a review, a filing request and an official filing are never blurred
- Simple rules: be useful, cite sources, never post someone else's unpublished invention, and no legal advice in public spaces
- Offers and earned credits that apply to MYCrave professional fees only, never to government fees or taxes, when a programme is active
- The interface in English, Hindi and Gujarati
Before you join.
Is it free to join the MYCrave Community?
Yes. Creating a community account is free. Professional services such as searches and filings are quoted separately by MYCrave.
How do I sign in?
Everyone uses one sign-in at my.mycrave.co.in. Enter your mobile number or email and we send a 6-digit code, so there is no password to remember. MYCrave team members use the employee, branch or head office tabs on the same page.
Will my idea be visible to other members?
No. Ideas you submit for review stay private. Invention disclosures, agreements and personal information are never shown publicly, and a public summary needs your separate permission.
I am already a MYCrave client. Do I need a new account?
No. Sign in with the mobile number or email on your client file. Your filings, documents and payments appear on the same account, kept separate from anything you do in the community.
Can my institution have its own private space?
Yes. Each participating institution has a public page and a private chapter. MYCrave verifies the organisation and the representative before the verified badge appears.
