The Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has launched an initiative to boost intellectual property rights (IPR) applications from the country’s state-owned defence industry.
Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman inaugurated the scheme – known as Mission Raksha Gyan Shakti – on 27 November, stating that Indian industry needed to be more aware of the requirement to secure IPR through patents.
The initiative, which aims to encourage industry to seek more numbers of patents for indigenously developed technologies, is led by the MoD’s Department of Defence Production (DoDP) and the associated Directorate General of Quality Assurance (DGQA), which certifies Indian-made defence products.
The MoD also disclosed that it established an “IP Facilitation Cell” in April. This aims to encourage defence public sector undertakings (DPSUs), the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) to file at least 1,000 new IPR applications in fiscal year 2018─19. During the first six months of the fiscal year more than 200 IPR applications had reportedly been lodged.
In an MoD press release, Sitharaman said, “Due to lack of awareness [about the] modern legal framework for protection of IP rights, our knowledge and creativity have often not been utilised to [their] full potential.” The MoD’s secretary of defence production, Ajay Kumar, also stressed the requirement to “migrate from the culture of seeking transfers of technology from foreign sources to generating IP in India to achieve the goal of self-reliance in defence sector”.
