This document discusses intellectual property rights (IPR) in academic research. It begins by outlining current technology trends such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and more. It then discusses how academic researchers can find information on current research trends through sources like patents and collaborating with industry. The document provides an example of the top five patent filing companies in 2019, including IBM, Samsung, Canon, Microsoft, and Intel. Finally, it outlines the patent process and how researchers can utilize patents to inform their work and identify problems and solutions.

“Invention”means a new product or process
involving an inventive step and capable of industrial
application;

49. Novelty
"New invention" means any invention or
technology which has not been anticipated by
publication in any document or used in the

specification, i.e.,the subject matter has not
fallen in public domain or that it does not form
part of the state of the art;

50. Inventive Step
"Inventive step" means a feature of an invention
that involves technical advance as compared to
the existing knowledge or having economic
significance or both and that makes the invention
not obvious to a person skilled in the art;

51. Industrial use or Utility
