Bennett University has won its first patent for developing ‘an advance protective gear against COVID-19 and related disease transmission.’ Named ‘Protective Mask ’ , this prototype has been developed by four Bennett University PhD scholars .
The scholars, Abhinav Nair (Biotechnology), Tushar Bansal (Civil Engineering), Sumit Sharma (Biotechnology), and Manish Chauhan (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering), filed for the patent in June 2020, which has been awarded to the university now.
What theDesign Patent ‘Protective Mask’ is about?
It is a complete head and face protective gear with the detachable self-sanitization system which is disclosed comprising a headgear. It is adapted to cover the complete head. The headgear comprises of a transparent visor area and 2 detachable sanitizers dispensing. They are attached on both sides of the protective gear. The left sanitization dispensing is for cleaning hands and the right one is for spraying sanitizer from the top to clean the whole cover. This helps in disinfecting the whole surface automatically to reduce chances of infection before removing the item from the face.
Ph.D. scholar Abhinav Nair said, "It was a great learning experience to work with our interdisciplinary team to address a most pressing issue of our times: The COVID-19 pandemic." His colleague, Sumit Sharma said, "Bennett University has given me the atmosphere to expand and endeavour for excellence in the career path, which encourages the minds of young people."
Talking about Bennett Univeristy, Tushar Bansal said, “I feel very delighted to receive this achievement. Bennett University gives an excellent platform for exploring inter-disciplinary research and encourages to come out with new ideas.”
“I strongly believe Bennett University has opened new stages of success to me and always encouraged me for generating new ideas out of my comfort zone”, said Manish Chauhan.
The duration of the registration of a design is initially ten years from the date of registration which can be extendable period of five years.
