S.No. Name of Faculty (Department) Patent No. & Date of Patent Granted Title of Patent Application No. & Applied to About the Patent
1 Dr. Gurvinder Singh Sodhi (Chemistry) 191277 February 16, 2004 A process for the preparation of a composition used for the detection of latent fingerprints. (Patent Certificate) 577/DEL/1996 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. A process involving a phase transfer catalyst to develop latent fingerprints on non-porous items was developed under this innovation. The phase transfer catalyst brings in a liaison between the developing reagent and the sweat constituents which are rendered insoluble on deposition on a surface. Such constituents cannot be tagged by conventional fingerprint reagents.
2 Dr. Gurvinder Singh Sodhi (Chemistry) 213743 January 11, 2008 A finger print powder composition and a process thereof. (Patent Certificate) 1600/DEL/1997 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. A powder composition was formulated under this proposal. Its constituents were an adhesive mixture and a colorant. It developed fingerprints on non-porous artifacts within 1-2 minutes. It was more cost effective than commercial fingerprint powders.
3 Dr. Gurvinder Singh Sodhi (Chemistry) 251802 April 4, 2012 A spray formulation for detecting latent fingerprints on sticky side of adhesive tape. (Patent Certificate) 270/DEL/2007 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. A spray type fingerprint composition was developed as a part of this patent. It developed clear and sharp fingerprints on sticky sides of adhesive tapes, such as cello tape, packing tape, doctor’s tape and electrical tape. It also developed finger impressions on duct tape which is used by suicide bombers to wrap explosives on their body.
4 Dr. Gurvinder Singh Sodhi (Chemistry) 258569 January 21, 2014 Fingerprint developing composition and method thereof. (Patent Certificate) 1639/DEL/2006 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. A formulation for developing fingerprints on non-porous items, along with the method of its preparation, was described under this proposal. The formulation was cost-effective, non-toxic and indigenous in nature. It detected finger impressions within 2-3 minutes.
5 Dr. Gurvinder Singh Sodhi (Chemistry) 295542 April 5, 2018 Detection of latent fingerprints on moist, non-porous surfaces. (Patent Certificate) 28/DEL/2009 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. A formulation for detecting fingerprints on non-porous items, like glass and metals was prepared under this patent. It was used as a wet powder and is effective in developing latent impressions on those items which have been deliberately or accidentally wetted.
6 Dr. Gurvinder Singh Sodhi (Chemistry) 304796 December 21, 2018. A spray formulation for detecting latent fingerprints on moist, non-porous surfaces and a method of preparation for the same. (Patent Certificate) 1759/DEL/2010 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. This proposal describes the utility of a composition which has the potential to develop fingerprints on an evidence which has remained immersed under water for prolonged periods of time. The formulation is in a suspension state. Its fluorescent nature helps in enhancing weak fingerprints.
7 G.S. Sodhi, G. Kaur and K. Kamra (Chemistry) 331123 February 3, 2020 A composition for developing latent impression marks and process for preparing the same. (Patent Certificate) 470/DEL/2013 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. Under this proposal a wet powder-type of suspension was formulated to detect fingerprints on despoiled crime scene evidence. The carrier solvent was water, which is non-toxic and non-inflammable. The formulation was fluorescent and detected fingerprints on multicolored items.
8 G. Kaur, V. Rarh and G.S. Sodhi (Chemistry) 375771 August 30, 2021 A vapor phase formulation and a process for detecting latent fingerprints on different surfaces. (Patent Certificate) 2310/DEL/2010 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. A vapor phase composition was prepared under this innovation. The vapors developed clear and sharp fingerprints within a span of 2-3 minutes on paper and paper items. The method was easy to use, as well as cost-effective.
9 Prof Manoj Nimesh and Dr. Deepali Joon (Zoology) 362827 March 24, 2021 A Novel Oligonucleotide-based Diagnostic Probe/Tool/Kit for Tuberculosis Detection and Method of Working for Same  (Patent Certificate) 77/DEL/2013 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. The technology offers a novel nucleic acid amplification assay comprising of oligonucleotide sets in master mix which can amplify the genomic DNA of TB pathogen in less than an hour leading to visual results without requirement of sophisticated instruments.
10 Dr Harpreet Singh Raina (Zoology) 371814 July 13, 2021 An insect rearing mutipurpose chamber useful for controlled live entomological studies (Patent Certificate) 201811006741 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. The use of this invention makes it possible for conducting biological experiments without disturbing or altering the natural habitats of the insects. It can be used for multidimensional functions like conducting virus transmission experiments and for feeding purposes.
11 Dr Jasleen Kaur (Computer Science) 407572-001 April 10, 2024 Fog Computing supported AI-based Power Distribution Machine (Patent Certificate) Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. A design patent
12 Dr. Kushneet Kaur Sodhi  (Zoology) 543712 June 28, 2024 Enhanced anti-bacterial activity of the synthesized amoxicillin-iron complex (Patent Certificate) 202111061107 Government of India, Patent office, New Delhi. A complex of amoxicillin and Iron was synthesised in vitro which shows enhanced antibacterial activity as compared to the amoxicillin. This innovation can help to combat antimicrobial resistance which is a growing concern.
