Secure Meters’ Sanjay Singhal, Chief Guest at the event, said in his opening address that the success of a Patent filing depends more on the draft of the filing rather than anything else.  He further added that there have been continuous inventions in the various R&D labs across the country under the management of Government or private entities. However, the focus in our case is more on the publication of the research rather than on Patent filing of the findings.  He also said that it is important to commercialise the process of Patent Filing, saying that most Patent Attorneys from the general Law sector, thereby not being able to comprehend the importance or relevance behind the inventions. Professor Uma Shankar Sharma, VC of MPUAT thanked the participants and in his address said that the topic being discussed in the workshop was of upmost relevance to the technical professionals more than anybody else.  He said that Patent is the right of an inventor and all engineers and scientists at MPUAT must ensure that their work is recognized through patent filing.
