Preamble
Scientific research followed by commercialization of technologies or research findings should be the optimum condition of research activities. Every Research Institutes endeavor to protect their Intellectual Properties in right way and disseminate their acquired knowledge in legal way for mankind and also for revenue generation.
ICAR-NINFET (former ICAR-NIRJAFT) is hauling a glorious legacy of IPR activities since 1955 filing first patent application in that year. Thus our predecessors, not only did excellent R&D work, they also took steps to protect the intellectual property generated by them since 1955.
ICAR Headquarter has its Guidelines for Intellectual Property and Technology Management and a decentralized three-tier IP management mechanism, has been institutionalized in ICAR w.e.f. 2nd October 2006. This system was implemented through XI Plan scheme viz. “Intellectual Property Management and Transfer/Commercialization of Agricultural Technology Scheme”. This scheme has contributed to developing an IP environment in ICAR. Its implementation has led to increased IPR-filing (patents, plant variety rights, copyrights, trademarks, etc.).
Based on the encouraging lessons learnt during the XI Plan, the scope in the proposed XII Plan scheme is considerably enhanced. The enhanced scope is thus given the new name, ‘National Agriculture Innovation Fund’ with three components viz.
Component I: Innovation Fund (the XI Plan Scheme of Intellectual Property Management and Transfer/ Commercialization of Agricultural Technologies);
Component II: Incubation Fund (Supporting Agri-business Incubation Centres in institutions developing agricultural technologies); and
Component III: ARYA (Attracting and Retaining Youth in Agriculture), which is implemented through Extension Division of ICAR.
As per the Guide line framed by ICAR, ICAR-NINFET has already started their Institute Technology Management Unit from 2008-09.
Basic objectives of this unit are as follows:
