Seeking to "significantly enhance" the country's design capabilities in the defence segment, the government will next week launch a new initiative to boost the quantum of intellectual property in the sector, a top official said Saturday.
Secretary, Defence Production, Ajay Kumar interacting with reporters at his office in South Block here, also said, from April-October, "As many as 204 fresh patents have been applied for various designs by several defence units across the country."
Asked, if the IPR applications are for national or global level, Kumar said, "First the applications will go to the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks in the country, and then as per the response, we would apply for global patent as well."
