Dr. N. S. Chandrashekhar, research scientist, RUSAN Pharma Pvt. Ltd. Visited the JSS college of pharmacy mysuru campus on 24th july 2019, to give a guest lecture on 'Prior Art - For supporting innovative research pathways'. He spoke during his lecture about the significance of 'scientific company' (patent filing and patent process) compared to papers published. He spoke of the steps engaged in obtaining a patent from filing the request to the patent grant. He gave examples of other patents already on the market. He encouraged all the learners to fill in their own patents as well as telling them about the benefits that learners can get from the patents. He made us aware of all the patentable things. He described to us by providing an instance of already patented banana cover. First, he described to us why the cover was important and why it was out of the market. Someone from Japan took the charge of finding bendable banana covers by that moment. He clarified to us with this instance that very imperceptible items can also be patented. He also shared his insights into an innovator's mindset and current status, as well as the qualities a business aims from an aspiring fresher. He highlighted the significance of personal abilities that are deemed important compared to book understanding in most pharmaceutical industries.
