Overview
Quality research has a major role to play in global positioning
of R & D activities of our Institute. Patent Cell Department
is equipped with high end computers for online data base
searches for patents and journals. The department is dedicated
to focussed quality research and intelligent surfing of
research information. Patent cell department facilitates
this by creating awareness and understanding using online
resources through STN (for journal literature, patents,
structures, sequences, properties and data) and SciFinder(single
& multi-step reactions, experimental and predicted properties
& substances/ compound information) round the clock for
our research activities. The main aim of this department
is to provide vital relevant scientific information for
steering research towards drug discovery.
Objectives/
Area of Research
 |
Understanding & utilizing the latest
developments in the area of patents and their impact
on research. |
|
Study of knowledge based research
activity in the field of drug discovery, pharmacology,
plant biotechnology, microbiology etc. |
|
Analyzing patent information on regular
basis & suggesting new &promising areas of research. |
|
Updating the knowledge in the relevant
field to supplement the researchers as per the project
needs in different department of our Institute. |
Facilities
|
STN (CONNECTION TO SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY): STN operated jointly by CAS and FIZ Karlsruhe worldwide
and Japan by JAICI.
| i. |
STN is an online database service
that provides global access to published research,
journal literature, patents, structures, sequences,
properties and other data. |
| ii. |
Track competitive intelligence
for existing products and those under developments. |
| iii. |
Access patent expiration and
extension information. |
|
|
SciFinder (PART OF THE PROCESS): SciFinder
is the leading research tool used by scientists
around the world to access single-and multi-step
reactions, experimental and predicted properties
and substance information. Its advanced search and
analysis tools play vital part of today research
process.
| i. |
Access to current high quality
scientific information |
| ii. |
Link to more relevant journals
articles and patent documents than any other
source. |
| iii. |
Capabilities for exploring
substructures and reactions. |
|
Future
Plans
|
Subscribes more online drug discovery
databases for ongoing clinical trials at different
stages. |
|
Organise lectures/Guest lectures/
seminars /symposium/and training at National &International
level. |
|
Open doors to access our facility
for other Institutions, universities and other organisations. |
|
