6.3.4. Licensing of Intellectual Property
6.3.4(A) Definition
Licensing of intellectual property shall mean granting the licensee the right to utilise the
intellectual property and to make, sell or use the resulting product(s) either for
commercial/captive purpose or as otherwise agreed to.
6.3.4(B) Method of Licensing
Licensing of intellectual property involving transfer through format means shall be through
specific contractual arrangements. For transfer of intellectual property through only one-time
demonstration or supply of only drawings, reports, plans software etc. licensing can be done
through implied contractual agreement with no liabilities on GBPIHED (Annexure 6.V).
6.3.4.(C) Channel of Licensing and associated ownership rights
GBPIHED would be free to choose the channel of licensing/commercial utilisation of all
unencumbered intellectual property generated, which could be either directly by the Institute
themselves, through the National Research Development Corporation (NRDC) or through any
other Technology Transfer Agency (TTA) such as Consulting & Design Engineering
Organisations, etc. Requisite approvals as per guidelines would be necessary in each case of
licensing of intellectual property.
6.3.4(D) (a) Direct licensing by the Institute
Intellectual property that can be licensed directly by the Institute would comprise:
i. unencumbered intellectual property not referred to NRDC.
ii. all encumbered intellectual property developed under contract research (ref. chapter 6.1,
para, 6.1.6).
GBPIHED should clearly specify in the agreement their obligations and extant commitments to
the licensee(s) in each case.
Licensing of unencumbered intellectual property should be generally on non- exclusive basis.
However, where despite publicity and conscious efforts for commercial utilization of such
intellectual property, it has remained unlicensed for more than three years, it could thereafter, if
deemed necessary be offered on a limited exclusive basis to make it more attractive to
users/clients.
