Science & Technology: In this 21st century science and technology plays a
pivotal role in the sustainable development of a
country. Being a developing country Bangladesh is
striving to underpin a concrete base of science
and technology. However, considering these facts,
the present government of Bangladesh has freshly
formulated “National Science and Technology
Policy (NSTP) – 2011” where adequate emphasis
has been given on intellectual property and
related issues.
Science & Technology:
Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial
Research (BCSIR) is functioning under the Ministry
of Science and Technology as the apex
organization for performing scientific and
industrial research. BCSIR is mandated to execute
research and development (R&D) programmes to
expedite the socio-economic development of the
country providing services to the society,
industries, entrepreneurs and SMEs (small and
medium enterprises).

Role of S&T for nation’s development
S&T plays an imperative role towards :
(i) Economic development;
(ii) Social development;
(iii) Poverty alleviation.
Considering the
importance of S&T, National
S&T Policy (NSTP) has
been introduced
Core theme of NSTP-2011
The core theme of NSTP-2011 is to
ensure that it becomes an
important and integral component
of all development plans and
activities in the country.
NSTP - 2011
NSTP - 2011
3 cut-off periods - fixed up
Short-term (18 months or
less) Mid-term (5 years or less)
Long-term (10 years or less)
Materialization of 246 Specific Initiatives
Emphasized areas of NSTP - 2011
1. Scientific and technological competence.
2. Regional and international science and technology
cooperation.
3. Capacity building in education and training.
4. Empowerment of women.
5. Public-private partnership (PPP) development.
5 Creation of awareness among mass people.
6. Science education.
7. Intellectual property right.
8. Dissemination of R&D results.
Since Bangladesh is a party to WTO and its provisions are mandatory for Bangladesh, IP issue has received proper attention while formulating NSTP.
How IPR is regulated in Bangladesh?
The Government of Bangladesh has taken necessary
initiatives to promote and update the IP laws to make it
compliant with Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual
Property Rights (TRIPS). Accordingly, the Government
amalgamated the Patent Office and the Trademarks
Registry Office in 1989 and established the “Department
of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (DPDT)” which is
the apex organization of the country administering the IP
issues under the Ministry of Industries (MOI).

Analytical chemistry Herbal medicine & natural products Biological science Industrial physics Biogas technology Leather technology Bio-ceramics Microbiology Building materials Mining, mineralogy &
metallurgy Chemical technology Nanotechnology Chemical metrology Pharmacy Fibre and polymer Pulp and paper Food science & technology Renewable energy Glass & ceramics Soil & environmental scienceBCSIR has strictly focused on:
Maintaining relationship with universities for R&D
IPR to protect the R&D innovations / outputs & dessimination
Why we need to protect IPR ?
To foster economic growth
To provide incentives for technological innovation
To attract investment which create employment opportunities

Objectives of IPR:
To create immense consciousness among the scientists in selecting R&D projects
To identify prospective IP from on going R&D projects
To protect R&D innovations through appropriate IP protection at national and international level
BCSIR’s R&D process:
Output of R&D projects
Implementation of R&D projects
Patent Process
Scientific publication
Selecting appropriate R&D projects
BCSIR’s Endeavour to Protect IP
The products / processes developed by BCSIR are strictly
secured by patent right in favour of BCSIR. This patent right
not only provides the IP right of the institution but also
protects the interest of the industry as well. This process
generation and dissemination of knowledge certainly
creates positive impact on the socio-economic well being of
the citizen and thus help to achieve the sustainable
development of the country.
