The process of patent filing is painstaking, and this achievement is extremely remarkable. We commend Dr. Shahid and Dr. Rizwan for both their research work (that has been granted the patent) that took almost three years, and for undergoing the painstaking procedure of patent application filing and the process till the grant of it which took another two years.

SHU is immensely proud of them!
