The only resource,as mentioned earlier,in which poor people are rich is their knowledge. Protection of the intellectual property rights and enerating incentives for them becomes necessary to ensure knowledge based approach to work. The activities necessary to achieve this goal are: The only resource, as mentioned earlier,in which poor people are rich is their knowledge. Protection of the intellectual property rights and generating incentives for them becomes necessary to ensure knowledge based approach to work. The activities necessary to achieve this goal are:

  • To help in prior art search so that innovators can maintain their competitive edge.

  • To coordinate with various intellectual property institutions and attorneys to mobilize pro bono or paid help for grassroots innovators to file patents, trademark and other means of IP protection and also directly file Application on their behalf.

  • To provide assistance to innovators to enter into licensing arrangements with entrepreneurs for transferring technologies

  • To help pool part of the license fee obtained from the innovators towards an innovation fund for supporting innovators

  • To screen ongoing patents on Indian traditional knowledge so as to oppose the improperly granted patents, particularly dealing withknowledge/innovations/ practices entered in the National Register

  • To pursue with the government authorities, the possibility of NIFproviding the certificate of inventions/unique Traditional Knowledgeaccompanied by medium term protection so as to reduce transaction costs of the IP offices and the innovators.

  • To coordinate with WIPO and other international patent offices to secure IP protection for grassroots innovators globally, wherever Applicable.

Till June 2007, 139 patents application have been filed in India and  out of these 23 have been granted and 5 are in order for grant 7 patent application were filed in US ,of which 3 has been granted.  One application filed under PCT is going through the process.5 trade mark applications were filed in INDIA and one Trade mark application was filed in USA. 2 design applications were also field.
Further,it is considered necessary to have a mutual understanding between the innovators and NIF about flexibility in the conditions that have been already specified in the form. If any need arises to modify any of the conditions specified in the consent form, NIF would like to have an agreement with the innovators authorizing NIF to change the options on their behalf with their prior consent. Likewise, if the innovator wants to cancel/modify his/her conditions specified in one’s consent form,they can do so with prior notification to NIF.
NIF's initiative regarding Prior Informed Consent(PIC)
While disseminating the innovations and traditional knowledge, one has to take care that one does not put the innovation of creative people in public domain without the informed consent of the knowledge providing individuals and communities. It is true that innovative culture can not be created in the country without such dissemination. How much information about an innovation can be disseminated becomes an important consideration in this process. While pursuing Scouting and Documentation function of NIF, getting PIC posed one of the biggest challenge. The concept being new, most people were not aware of the implications of the PIC.
It is now accepted worldwide that knowledge of the local communities and individuals should be accessed and used only through their prior informed consent.The issue of informed consent is not easy. NIF took a lead in this regard and started developing a form for Prior Informed Consent (PIC). In the first round of the contest, the PIC form that was used revealed several areas of improvement. Subsequently, after discussions with the collaborators and knowledge providers, a new form has been developed. It is obvious that for the people whose knowledge rights have never been even acknowledged, the concept of PIC is not only new but also intriguing. A detailed note has been prepared which highlights the plus and the minus side of saying, ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to various choices given in the form. For instance, if an innovator suggests that his knowledge may be shared widely through Honey Bee newsletter and/or on website or through other public channels, we have to explain the advantages of doing so and also the disadvantages from the IPR perspective. After sharing these implications the knowledge provider is well within his rights to say yes or no to this or other options(see PIC note explaining the implications of the PIC).
Further,it is considered necessary to have a mutual understanding between the innovators and NIF about flexibility in the conditions that have been already specified in the form. If any need arises to modify any of the conditions specified in the consent form, NIF would like to have an agreement with the innovators authorizing NIF to change the options on their behalf with their prior consent. Likewise, if the innovator wants to cancel/modify his/her conditions specified in one’s consent form,they can do so with prior notification to NIF.
Since PIC is a new concept, considerable investment will have to be made in creating awareness among various stakeholders. At this moment,we have no hesitation in accepting that complexity of the form and the options in the background note are not easy to follow by most endeavor people in villages. Thus, we have not achieved the kind of success in this which would have made us proud. In the absence of any major effort to create awareness about PIC, NIF’s effort will remain limited in their overall impact. NIF will, however, continue to make efforts to make this process as transparent and effective as possible.
Intellectual property rights and benefit sharing
Recognizing the vital importance of protecting intellectual property and ensuring that nobody misuses traditional knowledge by ignoring the real knowledge holders,NIF has set up an Intellectual Property Section.The section, consisting of a National Coordinator and fellows, conducts prior art searches in order to analyze the innovations and to assess their viability for getting patents and other means of intellectual property protection. The IP section drafts the patent specifications and other related legal documents.
Some of the premier Intellectual Property firms and IP institutions,like Anand & Anand and Surana & Surana and Global Business Solutions are providing pro-bono help for filing patents for innovators. Other irms like DP Ahuja & Co (HQ at Kolkata), Subramaniam, Nataraj Associates (Delhi) and L.S. Davar & Co, NewDelhi, are providing professional services on nominal professional charges. NIF has also been able to file several patent Application in United States with the help of SRISTI through a law firm, Testa Hurwitz & Thibeault LLP Boston (USA). It is hoped that the coming year would see more firms taking interest in working with NIF on pro bono basis.
