Protecting Knowledge.
Inspiring Discovery.

Protection and management of Intellectual Property (IP) have become a major challenge for countries across the globe, as patents are considered indicators of technological development and trends in research and development. Recognizing the potential of knowledge as a major creator of wealth in the emerging world economy, nations worldwide undertake initiatives to strengthen economic growth and protect their intellectual property.

The Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Cell of Sacred Heart College is established to promote innovation and a research culture on campus, encourage faculty- and student-led start-ups and ventures, and help individuals protect and respect intellectual property. The cell aims to nurture innovation and translate creative ideas into value-added products, processes and services for society, while assessing market feasibility and exploring commercial viability. The IPR Cell functions under the Research Committee of the college.

The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), in association with the IPR Cell, organized a seminar with two sessions to communicate the importance of intellectual property rights among the teaching community of the college.
