Participation in the two-day national conference organized by the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI) Business School, leader noted that during the Indian MNC can not find growth in itself a problem, Charts real challenge was just to success.

Patents are the measure of output of R&D labs. That is how an IBM or an Intel publicises its research output. Even countries measure their research output based on the number of patents. India started appearing significantly on the radar only since 1998, the year when statistical reports from the US patents office show a separate breakout. The number of patents granted every year to companies in India has been growing since-from 85 in 1998 to 131 in 2000 to 179 in 2001 to 342 in 2002 (according to data with the Director-General of the Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research). That translates into a whopping 91 per cent in the last year.

This is still very small compared to many other countries, even companies. The US state of California filed 20,863 patents in 2001, Germany, 11,895 and IBM, 3,411. But take South Korea-home to giants like Samsung and LG-which filed 3,763 patents in 2001 or the red dragon that filed a very modest 266 patents in 2001 and the picture begins to look very different.

CSIR, which holds 42 per cent of Indian patents granted in 2002, filed 728 foreign patents thus far this year. A potential client list for 2003 of one of the patent lawyers in the country lists 112 non-it companies, including Indian companies, laboratories and MNCs. If MNCs, which have set up R&D centres (about a 100 of them have), file patents, these will be accounted under India.

India is still new to the patents game. Till recently, academics and researchers in India were of the opinion that publishing papers was the endgame of research and that knowledge had to be free. The equation now is patents = productisable ideas = wealth creation. And our scientists are now beginning to get it.

R.A. Mashelkar, who took over as Director of National Chemical Laboratory in Pune in 1989, changed the slogan from ‘publish or perish’ to ‘patent, publish and prosper’. Four scientists-current National Chemicals Laboratory Director Swaminathan Sivaram was one of them-from the laboratory patented a polycarbonate innovation. Now, polycarbonates are the playground of GE and the MNC started working with NCL. When then GE CEO Jack Welch found out about this, GE decided to set up shop in Bangalore. Now, the Jack Welch Research Center is slated to grow from 1,600 scientists to 2,400, at which point it will be the company’s largest R&D set-up anywhere in the world, including the US. By 2001, GE India had been granted 17 US patents.

Mashelkar, the Director-General of CSIR, compares the output from his 40 labs to that of Samsung; CSIR filed 184 pct (patents cooperation treaty) applications and tied with the Korean giant for the number one position for the number of pct applications filed by companies in developing countries. And he is not the only scientist who is looking to benchmark his output with that of global private sector labs. The pioneering Professor Ashok Jhunjhunwala in IIT Madras asks: “If Huawei, the Chinese telecom giant, could come out of nowhere as late as 1988 and get to be so big, why can’t we create a global company?” The good news is, his research and the goal of the cluster of companies that he has created is all towards reducing the cost of state-of-the-art telecom in India.

But after the withdrawal of Bijay Kumar, the government seems to have forgotten, on frameworks, despite the fact that the selection process took up to an advanced stage of training.

Bhosale in his letter pointed out that plans were underway efforts to restore the old system Panel for the designation of the “practice” managers. “It was almost a year and we do not have our appointment. Commissionerate of sugar, neither the State nor the Association of sugar cooperatives in the next edition,” said Bhosale.

When contacted the State Minister Patangrao Kadam of cooperation was not the indictment investigation. “We only recommended to use the teaching skills desirable for a director general. We do not want to go beyond. The board of a plant should be free to appoint a director of their choice,” said Kadam TNN. On the question of whether the plants were asked to choose the 66 selected candidates, “said the minister, there should be a sugar factory.

Speaking to TNN, Gidwani claimed that the selected experts have been ignored because factories wanted “Yes Men”. “Each plant has an average volume of investment of Rs 50 crore and an annual turnover of about Rs 700 crore,” he stressed, adding that qualified specialists were of paramount importance in view the enormous sum of money involved.

Gidwani pointed out that efforts were ignoring the 66 selected candidates were indeed by the Land government. “We have information that a new list of 75 candidates was the state government,” he charged. He said he presented a memorandum to Minister Kadam seeking his urgent intervention, bearing in mind that the sugar was scheduled for an RS 1340 crore package of emergency aid in the next budget.
