Research Methodology & IPR

This book is designed to serve as a comprehensive guide for students, researchers, and professionals who want to deepen their understanding of engineering research and intellectual property rights. Drawing from my experience in teaching and research, I have focused on presenting core concepts in a clear and structured manner starting from the fundamentals of research methodology and ethics, moving through literature review techniques, and finally exploring the critical areas of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and more.My goal is to provide readers with practical knowledge that bridges theory and real-world application, helping them conduct research responsibly and protect their innovations effectively. Whether you are beginning your research journey or looking to enhance your expertise in intellectual property, this book aims to be a valuable resource to support your academic and professional growth.
