The Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Cell of Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCOE) is a dedicated institutional body established to promote innovation, creativity, and systematic protection of intellectual assets. The Cell facilitates patent filing, copyright and design registration, and supports technology transfer and commercialization initiatives for faculty, researchers, and students. It also conducts awareness programs, workshops, and expert guidance sessions on IP laws, drafting practices, filing procedures, and related legal frameworks.
In alignment with the institute’s vision to strengthen research and innovation, the IPR Cell functions as a structured support system to identify, protect, and commercialize intellectual properties generated within the campus.
