IIT Madras files 417 patents in 2024-25, surpasses ‘One Patent A Day’ vision

Chennai, Apr 25 (UNI) The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) students, researchers and faculty filed a total of 417 Patents during the 2024-25 financial year, surpassing the ‘One Patent
A Day’ vision of Director Prof. V. Kamakoti.
This included 298 Indian Patents and 119 International Patents.
Additionally, the institute filed 39 designs, 6 copyrights, and 1 trademark, bringing the total IP filings
to 463 for the 2024-25, IIT-Madras said in a release here on Friday, on the eve of the World Intellectual Property Day celebrations.
Further, in the last five years, IIT Madras has developed various technologies and transferred to industry partners like Start-ups, MSMEs and MNCs through licensing deals worth Rs. 28 crore.
The biggest of these was the 5G RAN sub-system technology transferred to Tejas Network (TATA Group).
This assumes significance in view of the upcoming ‘World Intellectual Property Day’ celebrated annually on April 26. According to World IP Organization, IP rights enable researchers, inventors, businesses, designers, artists and others to legally protect their innovative and creative outputs
and secure an economic return from them.
IIT Madras has been actively filing patents in various emerging and high-impact fields. These
include energy and battery innovations, microfluidic technologies, healthcare and assistive applications besides robotics and Artificial Intelligence. During 2024, a large number of inventions were filed in Electronics and Communication, Energy and Environment, Mechanical and Automotive, Healthcare and Medical Devices, Robotics and Automation, and Materials and Manufacturing,
among other fields.
Congratulating all the students, researchers, faculty and the IP Cell of the Institute, Prof. Kamakoti said, “For India to be a Technology Superpower as we March towards Viksit Bharat @ 2047, protecting our Intellectual Properties is crucial. I am very proud, that the IIT Madras team has filed 417 patents in the financial year 2024-25, with a significant rise in the number of International patents.
