Scientists and policy makers need more information, orientation and facilities for protecting the products of intellectual prowess of Indian scientists. So steps taken to promote the IPR in Himachal ,
1. Himachal Pradesh Patent Information Centre (HPPIC) was established in 1998. Himachal Pradesh Council for Science, Technology & Environment, Shimla continues the activity of Patent Information Centre (PIC) in the state of Himachal Pradesh at Shimla with technical and financial support from Department of Science & Technology, New Delhi/PFC, TIFAC.
