Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences, Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, encourages creativity and innovation, which in turn leads to the generation of intellectual property. Protection of Intellectual Property (IP) so generated is necessary to provide security, stimulation, and incentives for sustained and enhanced output. Moreover, in the context of ever-shortening product lifecycles and product differentiation and a market driven by vagaries, it is becoming more and more essential to Managing Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) effectively.

The IPR Cell at IGIDS was established as an entity of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth with a clear mandate of facilitating and guiding faculty, students and others in the various aspects and issues in the field of IPR. The IPR cell at IGIDS has organized many workshops, sensitization programs, seminars, besides getting IP registrations. The IPR Cell at IGIDS is constantly striving towards strengthening linkages with like-minded organizations to leverage its registered designs further. IPR Cell, IGIDS, has been one of the few educational institutions in the country to formulate IPR guidelines and policy.
