Intentionally, the workshop was designed to familiarize the students with Intellectual Property Law basics and its increasing significance in the new economy of innovation.
The workshop gave a comprehensive insight into the different types of Intellectual Property such as Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, and Geographical Indications and how they protect creativity, enable innovation, and promote economic development. The students were also introduced to procedural and practical stages associated with filing, enforcement, and settlement of disputes in the context of IPR.
The session was conducted by eminent resource persons: Mr. K. Shravan Kumar Yadav, Senior Associate, Juris Prime Law Services, and Ms. Vishala Ande, Chairperson & Founder, VissLaw Chambers both of whom had deep experience and industry expertise to offer the discussion.
The experts presented outstanding real-life experiences of enforcement of Intellectual Property legislations, based on their professional expertise. They underlined the reality that the topic of IPR is evolving with technology advancement and globalization, and urged students to search for new frontiers in IP litigation, corporate counseling, patent search, and IP management.
The workshop was finalized with a live Question and Answer session, during which the students debated out the problems and trends in IPR, for instance, internet piracy as a problem, authorship in AI, and IP harmonization worldwide. The workshop was a rich platform for students to develop practical exposure, conceptual awareness, and know more about possible career avenues in the difficult domain of Intellectual Property Rights.
