How Indian universities can industrialize their patent pipeline

University IP cells often juggle fragmented disclosures, limited budgets and aggressive timelines. Start with a quarterly roadmap that prioritizes disclosures based on commercialization potential and readiness. Map every idea to the right filing path (provisional, complete or PCT) and publish clear checklists for inventors.

Layer in milestone reviews—novelty search, drafting and filing—so stakeholders know where a disclosure stands. Pair this with shared dashboards inside IP 360° for leadership visibility.
