Concept to commercialisation completed
Background
A healthcare invention is only useful if it reaches patients. Between the idea and that point sit two problems that defeat most independent inventors: protecting the invention properly, and finding a party able to manufacture and distribute it.
Mr Ghanshyam Barot came to us with an invention addressing a patient care need. The brief was not "file a patent". It was "get this into use".
What we did
Drafting for commercial value. A patent that merely describes an invention is hard to license. Claims were drafted around what a manufacturer would actually need to control, so that the right on paper matched the right a buyer would pay for.
Protection. The application was prosecuted through the Indian Patent Office.
Technology transfer. Through IP BANK India we identified parties with the capacity to manufacture and distribute, valued the asset, and structured and completed the transfer.
The outcome
The invention moved from concept to commercialisation. The right did not sit in a file — it changed hands to a party able to put it to use.
Why it worked
The commercialisation route was considered at the drafting stage, not after grant. That sequencing is the difference between an asset and a certificate.
