About us :

One’s Inventions and Creations are considered as one’s Intellectual property in nature, and there are laws around the world to prevent the use or misuse of an invention by someone other than the original inventor. Generally such laws to protect invention and inventor's interests are called Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).Along with teaching and extension activities, an educational institution needs to encourage creativity, research and provide a conducive environment. Emerging research and innovative teaching approaches require IPR. IPR plays an important role in providing a competitive edgefor an Institution. Sadakathullah Appa College (Autonomous) has a rich history of scientific and literary contribution to the world since 1971. The College continues to uphold this excellence by setting up an IPR Cell. It was established on 21st June 2018.
