To promote Patents regime in Indian higher education institutes (HEIs) and national R&D labs, Centre for Policy Research (CPR) at Panjab University, Chandigarh has analysed the research publications and patents granted profile of a total of 904 institutions of India comprising of top HEIs (351) and all the national R&D labs (553). The HEIs comprise of Institutions of National Importance (INIs), universities, engineering institutes, pharma institutes, private universities taken from national rankings released in 2016 by MHRD. The national R&D labs, included in this study, have been established under 27 ministries of Govt. of India and 2 independent departments under Prime Minister of India. The analysed data has been published in the form of a book entitled “Mapping Patents and Research Publications of Higher Education Institutes and National R&D Laboratories of India”. Based on these analyses CPR has drawn recommendations for enhancing patents ecosystem in those institutions, which are excelling in research publications but lacking in generating patents. The Centre will work for encouraging these institutes for enhancing translational research ecosystem and study R&D profile of institutes through conducting case studies.
