Act ) specifies procedures for access to biological /genetic material
for agricultural research and their IPR Protection.
Copyright, whether registered or not, will exist in all creation of ICAR
Scientist /innovators and its intuitional works .
National Authorities have been established under the PPV & FR act
and the biodiversity act. ICAR will manage its IPR Portfolio and
technology transfer as per the prevailing national IPR and other
related laws/Rules.
Functional Decentralization.
Confidentiality.
Dispute Resolution.
ICAR-Private Sector Partnership.

justification shall be referred to the CTMC/competent authority for decision.
Institutional Arrangement
Institute Technology Management Units (ITMUs).
The ITMUs will pursue all IP protection, maintenance and transfer/
commercialization related matters at the institute level as per these guidelines and
any other administrative or policy decisions taken in the ICAR from time to time.
They will seek any specific, case-to-case basis advice/assistance from the Zonal
Agro-Technology Management Centres (ZTMCs) at the zonal level or the AgroTechnology Management Centre (ATMC) at the ICAR headquarters.
Zonal Agro-Technology Management Centres (ZTMCs).
ICAR will establishZTMCs at selected national/central institutions in different zones
identified as the zonal level institutes. The ZTMCs will function as Secretariat of
the respective Zonal InstituteTechnology Management Committees (ZITMCs) to
advise on, coordinate and pursue the IP protection, maintenance and transfer/
commercialization related matters at other ICAR institutions in the zone.
Event of conflict

6. Agricultural machinery, implements, and laboratory equipment.
7. High value compounds from terrestrial, aquatic and living
systems, such as animal rumen, internodal cavities of bamboos,
etc.
8. Novel genes from microbial and higher biological systems;
research tools of genetic engineering, such as gene primers,
constructs, and gene transfer tools like gene gun, etc.
9. Information systems and software, etc.
10. Patentable part of know-how, for scaling up of research results
or manufacture of prototypes/ commercial products, etc.

Act as per law.
Any Other IPR Form: On a case-to-case basis, any research result of ICAR,
which is protectable as IPR in any other form under the Indian law, shall be
protected and maintained for its IPR enabled transfer and use.
Know-How: A know-how available with ICAR, which could lead to development
of prototype/ commercial product from an IP generated by its scientists/ scholars,
constitutes an important, potentially useful property, irrespective of whether it is
patentable or not.
Traditional Knowledge: The Indian Patents Act and some other IPR Acts require
a disclosure of traditional knowledge used in the invention/innovation.
