PATENT INFORMATION CENTRE (PIC) WEST BENGAL STATE COUNCIL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

- Abraham Lincoln

About Us:

Intellectual Property Rights play crucial role in today’s Technology

frontier. With advent of WTO, India stepped into new IPR regime. In view of

intellectual property protection playing a key role in gaining advantageous

position in the competitive technological game for economic growth of the country,

setting up of a Patent Information Centre (PIC) under West Bengal State Council

of Science and Technology (WBSCST) was conceived as one of its thrust area

activities.

In pursuance of such decision, the Patent Information Cell, the first of its kind in

India, was set up at WBSCST under DST-GoWB on 1997 in collaboration with

Technology Information Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC), DST – Govt.

of India.

DOYEN– Technology and Innovation Facilitation Centre

A new project is taken up by Patent Information Centre with the duel objective of

commercialisation of existing innovations/patent and handholding and

entrepreneurship development among scientists, students and grassroot innovators

with funding from DST, Government of West Bengal.

As a part of Doyen Project the first skill development programme for Technology

Facilitation called “The Mentor” was inaugurated 10th

August 2016 by the

Additional Chief Secretary of West Bengal and Member Secretary of West Bengal

State Council of Science & Technology. “The Mentor” is a 12 week programme

aiming at handholding the grassroot innovators for successful entrepreneurship and

open opportunities for the inventors for commercialisation /marketing of their

inventions. A batch of 25 participants consisting of grassroot inventors, students and

scientist have been selected for this programme. Expression@Work training and

mentoring studio was assigned to provide resource persons for this programme and

arranging financial investor or companies for technology commercialisation and

transfer respectively.

Plant variety protection (PVP) is one subset of the broad field of Intellectual

Property Rights (IPR). It focuses on the intellectual property rights over traditional and inherited plant varieties which can be commercially exploited.

In the agricultural field, inventiveness was traditionally based on the sharing & exploitation of biological resources & the related knowledge among the farmers. IPR over plant varieties provide the sufficient incentive to private sector to enter into the seed business. Plant Breeder’s Rights (PBRs) was developed as an alternative form of protection in the agricultural field.

Plant Variety Protection & Farmers’ Rights (PVP & FRA) not only provide an

effective system for protection of indigenous plant varieties, the rights of farmers and plant breeders but also encourage the development of new varieties of plants.

PIC facilitated PVP & FRA filing for 24 Rice varieties of West Bengal out of which 13 was granted registration in 2015.

BENGAL SCIENCE INITIATIVE

With a view to infuse knowledge of Science & Technology among the common people

particularly those living in remote rural area the Council has launched a programme entitled

Bengal Science Initiative form January, 2013. Bengal Science Initiative is an umbrella

programme comprising of various schemes and activities with an integrated approach to

Promote and Popularize Science in one hand and to identify and undertake more socially

relevant Research and Development projects on the other.

53

Activities under Bengal Science Initiative

Bengal Science Lecture: In order to make students (of School, College and

Universities) aware about the current topics of science as well as to create an

opportunity to meet the eminent scientists of India, meet them in person and

interact with them, a series of lectures programmes are arranged throughout

the year. The idea of organising such seminars is to motivate them to take up

science as their career.

Research Fellowship Award & Research Grant Award: This programme is

being launched with an aim to promote and popularize research with

particular focus to take science from the laboratory to land for the benefit of

the common people particularly poorer & under privileged sections of the

society. Agriculture Environment, Energy & Education are the focal points

since each of which has tremendous importance in respect to rural Bengal.

Five Research Fellowship Awards have been declared in the name of the Indian scientists

who are icons of science internationally, which include:

1. Jagadish Chandra Fellowship for Life Science / telecommunication

2. Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy Fellowship for Chemical Science

3. Meghnad Saha Fellowship for River Science Research

4. Satyendra Nath Bose Fellowship for Theoretical Physics

5. Upendra Nath Bramhachari Fellowship in Health Science

The fellowships are being rendered to carry out research at one hand and pursue for

Ph.D. degree on the other hand, the target people being students completing master

degree in science.

Two Research Grant Awards have been declared which include:

1. Swami Vivekananda Research Grant for Rural Development

2. Rabindra Nath Tagore Research Grant for Promotion of Science Education

Here the target group is college and university teachers who can carry out research

in respective lines along with their regular jobs.
