Bridging science and law — so that research becomes protected, transferable and commercially viable intellectual property.
Eleven modules across the year. Semester I establishes the legal frameworks; Semester II applies them to filing, valuation and sector-specific practice.
Four practice strands run through both semesters, each producing something a participant can show.
Live searches across patent databases and drafting exercises that build claim-writing discipline from the first semester.
Complete filings in Patent Office formats, so the procedural mechanics are familiar before they matter.
Direct exposure to practising patent professionals, technology transfer officers and IP-active researchers.
Draft and file a complete patent application — the programme's terminal deliverable and its clearest proof of capability.
This is not only an academic qualification but a strategic capability.
By bridging science and law, it enables participants to transform research into marketable innovation — advancing individual careers and national innovation capacity together.
