Most institutional IP cells exist on paper. We build the ones that file.

An IP cell is judged by what comes out of it: filings, grants, transfers and trained faculty. We have established 70+ across India — policy, workflow, training and the filings themselves, not a nameplate on a door.

  • 12+ years of experience
  • 70+ IP cells established
  • 22,000+ IPR applications filed
  • 4,200+ seminars delivered

Why most IP cells stall

A committee, but no process

A cell is constituted and a coordinator named, then nothing moves because no one has defined how an idea becomes a filing, or who decides.

No IP policy, so no ownership

Without a written policy covering student work, faculty output, funded research and consultancy, every promising disclosure stalls on the question of who owns it.

Faculty who were never trained

Teaching staff are asked to identify patentable work without ever having been shown what patentable means in practice.

Filings that stop at the receipt

Applications are filed for the accreditation count, then lapse because examination reports go unanswered.

Nothing reaches industry

Even granted IP sits idle because no one owns the commercialisation step.

What we set up, end to end

01

IP policy drafted for your institution

Ownership, revenue sharing, student and faculty rights, funded and sponsored research, consultancy output — written to fit your statutes, not a template.

02

Cell structure and workflow

Roles, the disclosure form, the evaluation route, decision authority and timelines, so an idea has a defined path from disclosure to filing.

03

Faculty training programme

Sessions that teach staff to recognise protectable work in their own field, including patentability basics and prior art searching.

04

Student awareness programme

Seminars and workshops that build a pipeline of disclosures instead of waiting for them to appear.

05

Filings handled by registered agents

Drafting, filing and prosecution through to grant — including replies to examination reports, which is where most institutional filings fail.

06

Accreditation documentation

Records and reporting formats aligned to NAAC, NIRF and NBA innovation indicators.

07

Commercialisation through IPBANK INDIA

Listing, valuation, licensing and transfer of institutional IP, with legal and payment infrastructure in place.

08

Annual review

A yearly check on filings, grants, lapses and pipeline, with a plan for the year ahead.

How the engagement runs

  1. 1

    Discovery visit

    We meet your leadership and R&D heads, review existing research output, and understand what your accreditation cycle needs.

  2. 2

    Policy and structure

    We draft the IP policy and the cell's operating workflow, then take them through your approval process.

  3. 3

    Launch and training

    The cell is formally launched, with faculty training and a student awareness seminar delivered on campus.

  4. 4

    First filing cycle

    We run a disclosure drive, assess what came in, and file the work that qualifies.

  5. 5

    Prosecution and grants

    Examination reports are answered on time so applications proceed to grant rather than lapsing.

  6. 6

    Commercialisation and review

    Granted IP is listed for licensing where appropriate, and the cell's output is reviewed annually.

Success stories

What protection looks like in practice

Real work from our filings across manufacturing, education, pharma and consumer products. Client names appear only where we have permission to use them.

Questions we are asked most

How long does it take to set up an IP cell?

The policy and structure are usually in place within a few weeks of the discovery visit. The first filing cycle depends on your disclosure drive — most institutions see their first filings within a term.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size of the institution, how many departments are involved and whether filings are included. We give a written proposal after the discovery visit, with the filing fees itemised separately from the setup work.

Do we need existing research output to start?

No. Several of the 70+ cells we have established began with no filings at all. The awareness programme is what generates the first disclosures.

Who owns the IP that comes out of the cell?

Whatever your policy says — which is exactly why we draft it first. Most institutions choose a shared model between the institution and the inventor, with defined revenue sharing.

Does an IP cell help with NAAC and NIRF?

Yes. Filed and granted IP, technology transfers and awareness programmes all feed into innovation and research indicators. We supply the documentation in the format your team needs.

Can you work with our existing cell rather than starting fresh?

Yes, and often that is the better route. We audit what exists, find where the process breaks, and fix that rather than rebuilding.

Not happy with something? We keep a dedicated complaint-handling team, separate from the people delivering your matter. Every complaint gets a reference number and an independent review. Raise a complaint or send feedback.

Ready to protect it?

A short conversation is usually enough to tell you whether you have something protectable, which route fits, and what it will cost.
