Biography

Pratap Devarapalli is a Techno-legal expert and IP researcher. His research focuses on Intellectual Property issues in relation to Artificial Intelligence, 3D Bioprinting, Biosimilars and Systems Biology. Pratap joined the CLG and the Faculty of Law, UTAS in February 2019 as a PhD student to examine the Patenting aspects of 3D Bioprinted Tissues and Organs.

Pratap was an Invited Researcher at the Institute of Intellectual Property entrusted by the Japan Patent Office and Govt. of Japan in 2018. In 2017, he completed his Masters of Law (LLM) in Intellectual Property from World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Geneva and the Queensland University of Technology, Australia. He is the recipient of the prestigious International Fellowship offered by WIPO. He had completed his Master's in Genomics from the Central University of Kerala, India and joined as a Research Fellow in CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology.


Pratap pursued his Postgraduate Diploma in Patinformatics from Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) in CSIR Unit of Research and Development of Information Products and worked as a Patent Researcher in the same. Simultaneously, he pursued his Postgraduate Diploma in Patent Law from National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR).
