Karnataka on India's IP Map by Dr. Sudhir Ravindran, Altacit Global, is a data-driven exploration of Karnataka's patent ecosystem - one of India's most dynamic, consistently ranking among the top three states in patent filings nationally.The book charts the contributions of technology giants, leading academic institutions, research organisations, startups, and MSMEs, with Bengaluru at the heart of the innovation story. It examines Karnataka's IPR Policy, institutional support frameworks, and government incentive structures that have shaped the state's rise as an IP hub.Going beyond filing trends, the book addresses a critical gap: the disconnect between patent activity and commercialisation - and what Karnataka's innovators, policymakers, and entrepreneurs must do to bridge it. It offers actionable recommendations for startups, MSMEs, academic institutions, and individual innovators seeking to leverage patents as strategic assets for growth, funding, and market expansion.
