Research Methodology and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) a comprehensive guide to research practices, methodologies, and the essential principles of IPR. This book explores both qualitative and quantitative research methods, offering clear insights into data collection, analysis, and ethical considerations. Additionally, it into the fundamentals of intellectual property, covering topics like patents, copyrights, trademarks, and how they safeguard creative and innovative works. Ideal for students, researchers, and professionals, this resource emphasizes the importance of methodological rigor and intellectual property knowledge in advancing research and innovation.

The book Research Methodology and IPR is strictly based on the syllabus prescribed by V.T.U., mainly for the students of 5TH semester B.E common for all branches. It covers the both research methodology and IPR. This book deals with 5 Modules: The first module deals with the Engineering research and ethics. The second module gives detailed information about literature review and Technical reading as well as attributions and citations. The third module deals with the patents. The fourth module gives detailed information about copyright and Trademarks. The fifth module deals with Industrial Design, Geographical indications and few case studies.

This book offers a design research methodology intended to improve the quality of design research- its academic credibility, industrial significance and societal contribution by enabling more thorough, efficient and effective procedures.

Research may be very broadly defined as systematic gathering of data and information and its analysis for advancement of knowledge in any subject. Research attempts to find answer intellectual and practical questions through application of systematic methods. Nowadays the advances in biological sciences are made through the applications of all available methods such as physical, chemical, mathematician, engineering etc. Some people consider research as a movement, a movement from the known to the unknown. It is actually a voyage of discovery. This book explains about the basics of research. This book contains five chapters, each one explains about the basic, scope and applications of research methodology. The book will be much fruitful for students to learn basics of research methodology for exam point of view. Chapter 1 explains about the basic research formulation and design.The types of research, research criteria, selection of research problem, importance of literature review and so on. Chapter 2 explains about the data collection and analysis.The data collection ,sampling methods were explained in this chapter. Chapter 3 provides information about research design, factors affecting research design and sample size. Chapter 4 and 5 deals with the research ethics, committee, patents, scholarly publishing and Report writingand its significance. We invite constructive comments and suggestions from readers especially staff and student community to further improve this book in future revisions.

Discussions on research are commonplace in today's society, both within and outside of universities. Each year, several studies are started and completed. However, the research process, a crucial aspect of every study, is often overlooked. As a consequence, many pieces of study, especially in the social sciences, resort to excessive wordiness and citations. As a result, a lot of studies wind up being pointless. In the context of strategy and growth, it is worth noting that the quality, not the quantity, of research is what really matters. The quality of study can only be improved if individuals involved in the research give careful consideration to developing and consistently using an acceptable technique throughout. Research strategies are often consistent regardless of whether or not the technique changes from issue to problem. With this in mind, this book has two distinct goals: (i) to assist researchers of all stripes in crafting a methodology that is well-suited to their studies; and (ii) to familiarize them with the art of employing a variety of research methods and techniques. The publication of this book is a small but sincere attempt to contribute to accomplishment of exploratory as well as result oriented research studies.

Built environment students are not always familiar with the range of different research approaches they could be using for their projects. Whether you are undertaking a postgraduate doctoral programme or facing an undergraduate or masters dissertation, this book provides general advice, as well as 13 detailed case studies from 16 universities in 7 countries, to help you get to grips with quantitative and qualitative methods, mixed methods of data collection, action research, and more.
