Abstract

Innovation and technology-driven research play a pivotal role in advancing sustainable fisheries and mariculture. The Institute Technology Management Unit (ITMU) of ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has been actively working towards protecting, managing, and commercializing the valuable intellectual assets generated by the institute. Through continuous efforts in intellectual property protection, technology transfer, industry collaborations, and capacity building, ITMU has contributed significantly to translating research outcomes into societal and commercial benefits. Over the years, the institute has achieved notable milestones in the areas of patents, designs, trademarks, technology commercialization, and ICAR-certified technologies. The successful transfer of several innovative technologies and nutraceutical products to industries reflects the commitment of ICAR-CMFRI towards fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development. This booklet provides a brief overview of the activities, achievements, and success stories of ITMU, highlighting the institute’s journey in strengthening intellectual property management and promoting technology-led growth in the fisheries sector. The accomplishments presented herein are the result of the dedicated efforts of our scientists, technical staff, industry partners, and stakeholders.
