"Patents are like bullets”, says Law Prof Collen V. Chien. She is right. Patents make you powerful in a mob and their influence is widespread – almost in every sector. Academic institutes that are hub of innovation, with the power of their research work can convert their intellectual property into a nuclear weapon. Having a strategic patent portfolio in place can help them generate revenue, which can be highly rewarding in other areas also. It adds more credibility to an educational standard of an institute, for example, and also attracts corporate entities. Universities, today, have their research platforms and systems in place for their enhancement. But it’s of no use if an institute is not managing and utilizing its knowledge base. However, there are universities, though few in numbers, which are strategically utilizing their research base. With the presentation above, we have solved 6 major road stones of Universities to efficiently deal with their Intellectual Property.

2. Knowledge Base
Problem: Universities stores data individually without a centralized
platform for aggregating all the information. How to makes it easier
to access all kind of research papers, patents, inventors profiles,
university profile, research capability etc. at one place?

3. Knowledge Base
Solution: Creating a centralized platform where cross communication
of thoughts and research work is possible.

4. Centralized
Platform
Researcher Profiles
Encouraging Participation
Discussion Forum
Notifications
University Profiles
Research Papers/Patents

5. Researcher Profiles
Centralized
Platform
Problem: How can research conducted once be reused/referred
for incremental work i.e. work of one professor available to all?

6. Solution: Creating profiles for individual professors including
information about their research work, favorite research topics etc.

7. University Profiles
Centralized
Platform
Problem: How one can get information about a university? Like, the
professors, the research work taken, the books available in the library,
the equipment available for testing etc.

8. Solution: Creating profiles for the university including information
about their professors, research facilities, publications etc.

9. Encouraging Participation
Centralized
Platform
Problem: Not everyone thinks about patent filing. How to capture such
unshared potential ideas?

10. Solution: Research reward and credits.

11. Research Papers/Patents
Centralized
Platform
Problem: Is it possible to submit both patent and research paper
at one place?

12. Solution: Yes, by providing centralized store of all the inventions
(patents/research papers).

13. Discussion ForumCentralized
Platform
Problem: Research, is not always a one person idea however, is a result of
collective brainstorming and shared knowledge. How to use knowledge
of each researcher?

14. Discussion ForumCentralized
Platform
Solution: Creating discussion threads which are technology specific and
professors of different universities can collaboratively share their ideas.

15. Researchers from different universities can post their questions/answer.
While posting a question, it can be tagged with its respective
technological areas.

16. Notifications
Centralized
Platform
Problem: How to remain updated about the recent researches conducted
in a technological domain of interest?

17. Solution: Professor will stay updated about the latest happening during
their research on a particular topic with the help of notifications.

will not take an institute to the top,

19. Only having a strong research base
will not take an institute to the top,
It is equally important to manage
the knowledge as well.
