Learn IP. Solve real problems. Build something worth protecting.
For school and college students in India and anywhere else: practical intellectual property learning, real problems to work on, teammates from other campuses, and a clear route from an idea to protection.
MYCrave has educated more than 2,00,000 people across India through seminars and programmes.

Learn: The basics, properly
Start with how intellectual property actually works: what can be protected, who owns it and what a patent really says.
Explore: Find a problem worth solving
Good inventions start with a real problem. Look at what institutions, industry and public bodies need, and learn how to check what already exists.
Collaborate: Build a team
Find people with the skills you do not have, on your campus or anywhere else, and get guidance from people who have done it before.
Innovate: Work on a solution
Take part in the always-open challenge, enter competitions when they open, and turn a project into something that works.
Protect: Before you share it
Know when to keep quiet, who owns a student invention and which route fits, then get professional help when it is time to file.
Commercialize: Make it count
A protected invention can be licensed, sold or adopted. See how MYCrave helps owners find the right partner.

The IP Knowledge Bank explains Indian IP law and practice in plain language, and the Young Innovators collection shows what people your age have already built.
Is there an IP Cell on your campus?
MYCrave sets up and runs IP Cells at colleges and universities. If your institution takes part, your coordinator can approve you into its private chapter and help you link filings from IP Cell sessions to your account.
Ask a parent, guardian or teacher before you join. Keep your phone number and address off your public profile, and never post the details of an invention in a public space. Young innovators aged 8 to 18 can also take the STAR KID programme.
