rules and regulations of gbpihed - Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of ...

• Intellectual property is created by individuals, or by groups of individuals, who are
entitled to choose the course of disclosure; academic freedom of individuals is a
higher priority than possible financial rewards.
• There exists a historical tradition allowing authors to retain ownership of
intellectual property rights from textbooks and works of art.
• GBPIHED is the support of the entire Institute community along with its units and
is thereby entitled to share in financial rewards.
• There should be incentives for all parties to pursue financial rewards together,
consistent with the expressed goals of the policy. The distribution of these rewards
should reflect, insofar as possible, the creative contributions of the creator, and the
resources contributed by and risks assumed by both the creator and the GBPIHED
in developing intellectual property.
• Since it is frequently difficult to meaningfully assess risks, resources and potential
rewards, negotiated agreements are to be encouraged whenever possible.
Strategy
The goals of GBPIHED's IP policy are to be achieved by:
1. Nurturing a strong innovation base in the GBPIHED through a balanced
system of recognition and rewards ranging from according due weightage in
promotions to monetary and other forms of rewards.
2. Investing liberally to enhance the skills and knowledge base of scientists,
through structured in-house and external professional training programmes,
some even abroad, on understanding, interpreting and analyzing the technolegal
and business information contained in IP documents and in drafting of IP
documents.
3. Strengthening the IPC of GBPIHED through infusion of qualified and trained
staff, empanelment of outstanding consultants and a high level advisory
committee to enable it to develop as a centre of excellence and a national
resource for intellectual property.
4. Identifying and mounting applied research projects after thorough analysis and
assessment of techno-legal and business information in related IP documents
and monitoring the global patent position for mid-term project appraisal for
which requisite pre-project budget and funds would be allocated.
5. Establishing and enforcing a formal mechanism of recording and authentication
of R&D output / results taking into account the individual characteristics of
each core/unit and its activities, that would be accepted and respected by the
patenting authorities the world over.
6. Encourage the publication of R&D results in scientific papers after careful
consideration of the consequences of IP rights. A quick and effective system at
Institute would be established to scrutinize the scientific papers and media
releases on achievements/ developments proposed in terms of the IP
information contained therein.
