ICAR has institutionalized a three-tier Intellectual Property(IP) management mechanism and framed guidelines for managing IPs and commercialization of technologies developed by the research institutes of ICAR. The intellectual Property and technology Management (IP&TM) Unit is at the helm of the three-tier system which manages all the matters related to intellectual properties and technology commercialization. At the institute level, Institute Technology Management Unit (ITMU) acts as a facilitating and supporting unit. Further to support the ITMU in recognition of technologies for commercialization and IP management an Institute Technology Management Committee (ITMC) is constituted at each institute. Between the IPTM and ITMU, a middle-tier Zonal Technology Management (ZTM) unit consisting of 10 subject specific ITMU units is instituted to support the ITMU units.

At ICAR-DCR, ITMU shoulders the responsibility of managing the IP portfolios of the institute viz., patents, copyrights, Trademark, Varietal registration etc and  commercialization of technologies developed by ICAR-DCR, Puttur.  ITMU also organizes IP awareness programmes for the scientists, farmers and students.
