OFFICE OF PATENT FACILITATION AND LICENSING CONSULTANCY (OPFLC)

Recognizing the importance of innovations in national growth and economy, the Govt. of India has declared 2010-2020 as the ‘Decade of Innovation’. To inculcate and nurture the innovative stint of students, employees and faculty, to give global visibility to their innovations, protecting the intellectual property of innovators and to facilitate the filing of patents, we established an Office of Patent Facilitation Licensing and Consultancy (OPFLC) in 2015. In October of 2016 State Council for Science, Technology & Environment, H.P. (HIMCOSTE) approved a DST sponsored Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Cell to be set-up at Chitkara University H.P.
In addition to filing patents, OPFLC and IPR Cell conduct sensitization seminars, lectures and workshops on IPR. One major IPR workshop was conducted in collaboration with Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) during September 15-16, 2017. It was attended by close to 100 delegates and 10 speakers from all over India delivered their expert lectures on IPR. CLICK HERE to see the brochure of MeitY sponsored IPR workshop conducted in September 2017.
As on date 44 patents and industrial design applications are filed by Chitkara University H.P. in Indian Patent Office and 1 patent is already granted to us (SEE HERE).

OPFLC and IPR Cell are looked after by Mr. Sagar Juneja – Assistant Dean (OPFLC), Chitkara University, H.P.
