dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the intellectual property (IP) management practices of healthcare startups based in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. It explores their primary IP assets, strategic approaches, challenges faced, awareness of government initiatives, and the significance of training in IP management. Despite the existence of supportive government schemes such as Startup India - which offers benefits like expedited patent processing and legal facilitation - awareness and utilization remain low. The structured training and guidance in IP management are lacking. A key focus of this research is to examine how libraries, particularly academic and public institutions, can address these knowledge gaps. By offering access to IP databases, hosting training sessions, supporting research, and connecting startups with expert resources, libraries have the potential to evolve into critical innovation and IP support hubs. The findings provide insights into the current state of IP practices in the region and recommend strategies for policymakers, incubators, and libraries to collectively foster a more IP-literate and resilient startup ecosystem
