Re: [LIS-Forum] UGC opts INFLIBNET to host National PhD Theses Repository
by Bukhari 28 Jul '09

Dear Dr. Poluru, Scholars interested in patenting their work can at least file a provisional application before submitting their thesis. They can file a more refined application (the complete specification) within 12 months from the date of filing of provisional application. Novelty will not be lost. Filing a provisional application is very simple and can be filed by the scholars themselves without incurring much cost. They may even chose to publish articles coming out of their thesis without losing the novelty of their idea once a prov appln has been filed. It must also be kept in mind that presentation of the work in seminar/conferences will also be novelty destroying if done before filing the application for patent, although there are few exceptions.

This move will no doubt have a lot of impact on accessibility, quality of research, and avoiding duplication of research, but what if some scholars want to publish their work after submitting their theses, especially if they want to patent their work.
