The IIT-Kharagpur has won an award the by the Indian government for being the top academic institute for patents in 2016.
IIT-Kgp director Partha Pratim Chakraborty said they have received a letter from the Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry saying the institute has been awarded the prize for 'Top Academic Institute for Patents 2016'.
"Our '100 patents drive' efforts are now giving results," he said while congratulating his team.
The award will be given on April 26 in Delhi by Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman at a function jointly organised for the celebration of World IP Day by the Indian Intellectual Property office.
The Indian Intellectual property office confers national intellectual property awards on outstanding innovators, organisations and companies in the fields of patents, designs, trademarks, and geographical indications on the occasion of World IP Day every year.
The National IP Award carries an amount of Rs 1,00,000, a citation and a memento.
To simplify the process of patent filing by students as well as professors who have done some substantial research within the institute, the IIT has been running an IP Portal.
Prof Goutam Saha of the institute said patents help them in getting consultancy work and other projects.
