The ICMR-Vector Control Research Centre (VCRC), Puducherry, has filed patent applications for two of its unique products — an artificial diet and feeding device for mosquitoes reared in laboratory — with the Indian Patent Office recently.
The team has also planned to approach to patent it at global level.
“Both the products have been awarded a unique number which will protect the Intellectual Property (IP) of both,’’ Dr. Ashwani Kumar, Director of VCRC said.
