Which office published the Status Report on Ayush Related Inventions in India (2014-2026)?
- A.National Ayush Mission
- B.Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks
- C.NITI Aayog
- D.Indian Council of Medical Research
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM). The report was published by that office, which functions under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and it was released during the celebrations of the 11th Ayurveda Day. The other options are wrong because none of them is the publisher named in the release. The National Ayush Mission is a scheme for Ayush health services, not a patent authority. NITI Aayog is the government policy think tank and does not administer intellectual property. The Indian Council of Medical Research funds and coordinates biomedical research. Patent statistics in India come from the patent office itself, so the applicant pool and grant figures in this study were compiled by CGPDTM rather than by the Ministry of Ayush, which only released it.
