Patent for Innovative Technology Crucial, Sam Pitroda


New Delhi, July 20 (IANS) Creating an innovative product with new technology is good but to safeguard the patent of such products is far more important, said Sam Pitroda, the advisor on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

He was addressing a function Monday organised by Bilcare Technologies, which is involved in manufacturing of nonClonableID based on nano technology. The technology will help in anti-counterfeiting, security and brand protection across a wide array of industry sectors.

"This nonClonableID is a unique fingerprint that can be integrated with products, ID cards and documents to provide a totally secure and reliable identification and authentication solution. It should have a proper patent, or else the big multinational companies will try to acquire such innovative technology," Pitroda advised Bilcare Technologies.

Noting many in the country have little awareness of patents, Pitroda said many Indian lawyers has less awareness of intellectual property and advised lawyers as well as technology developers like Bilcare Technologies to be aware of intellectual property rights.

Atul Mehrotra of Bilcare said: "NonClonableID employs unique materials-based fingerprints that are prohibitively difficult to copy. These tamper-evident fingerprints are irreproducible and cannot be duplicated even by Bilcare."

He also said over 77,000 nonClonableIDs will be given to the Delhi Police so they can use it for security purpose. This card which is based on nano-technology will contain all the details about the card holder and is being seen as a major security measure for the Commonwealth Games.

According to Mehrotra, "With just two months for the Games, as of now we might give it to the specific police officials who are engaged in security work of Games. Later we will provide this ID to all the 77,000 police personnel."
