-

 


On 25th September 2024, the Department of Languages, School of Arts and Humanities  at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Pune Lavasa Campus, hosted a workshop titled “Patent Application Filing” specifically designed for all the faculty members of the Department. The session was conducted by Dr. Sanjay Bang, an Associate Professor from the School of Law, who provided insights into the complexities of the patent application process. The workshop aimed to equip faculty members with essential knowledge on the basics of patents, the filing process, legal considerations, and practical tools necessary for effectively navigating patent applications in the context of academic research. The session began with an overview of patentable and non-patentable inventions. Dr. Bang explained the criteria that determine what can be patented, emphasizing the need for novelty, non-obviousness, and usefulness. This foundational understanding set the stage for deeper discussions on the types of patents available, including standard patents, which encompass process and product patents, as well as utility model patents and new use patents. Each type was defined, and examples were provided to illustrate their relevance to academic research. Dr. Bang then outlined the steps involved in filing a patent application, detailing the procedural aspects and emphasizing the importance of thorough preparation to ensure a successful application. Attendees were encouraged to consider how their own research could potentially lead to patentable inventions, thus motivating them to explore this aspect further. A significant portion of the workshop focused on the drafting of a patent application. Dr. Bang explained that a well-crafted application must include several critical components, starting with a background section that describes the current state of the art related to the invention, highlighting its significance and context. This is followed by clear claims that define the scope of the patent protection sought, as this section determines the extent of legal rights granted. A concise summary provides an overview of the invention and its advantages, while an abstract offers a brief description providing essential information about the invention. Visual representations, where applicable, help illustrate the invention, and comprehensive detailed descriptions cover how the invention works, its components, and its applications. The interactive nature of the workshop allowed participants to engage directly with Dr. Bang, asking questions and discussing challenges they face in their own research. This dialogue enriched the learning experience and enabled faculty members to gain practical insights relevant to their specific fields. In conclusion, the Workshop successfully provided faculty members with a deeper understanding of the patent process and its significance in academic research. Participants left with practical knowledge that they can apply in their respective areas, encouraging a culture of innovation and intellectual property awareness within the institution. Overall, this event marks a meaningful step towards enhancing faculty members' engagement with intellectual property issues.
