Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is an academic Institute dedicated to excellence in teaching and research. Its activities, centred on faculty/students/ /project staff/ supporting staff/visitors are based on knowledge and intellectual exercise. In the era of technology domination, where values and perceptions change at brisk pace, Indian Institutes of Technology, in particular, have to preserve the fundamental spirit of academics on one hand and have to march ahead, on the other, accepting changing realities of business economy based on knowledge generated, protected and disseminated under the intellectual property regime. In the evolving scenario of the world today, with increasing awareness of the ‘knowledge asset’, an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy is needed not only to preserve the interest of IITD but also to make IITD faculty/students /project staff/ supporting staff/ visitors aware of ‘knowledge asset and its impact on the society’.
