The faculty members of the University of Hyderabad have 17 patents to their names, some even international ones, and 26 are under process. However, of the 17 granted patents, only four have been picked up for commercialisation and these too are yet to be completely commercialised.
A major reason behind this, as pointed out by senior professors from the university, is the partisan attitude of industries towards universities. They say that while industries show enthusiasm in patents filed at institutes like Indian Institutes of Technology, they do not bother to take notice of the patents filed by other universities. This attitude also extends to collaborating with universities for conducting of research.
