About the Course

Intellectual Property is a subject of increasing global importance. Policymakers have long recognized the need for IP rights to protect the inventions and creative works of individuals and firms. In an age when knowledge capital, the product of the intellect, has become an increasingly important basis of social and economic progress, IP has acquired unprecedented importance, and issues relating to the generation, evaluation, protection, and exploitation of IP systems have become crucial.

The IPR viz., Patent, Design, Trademarks, Copyright etc. are key components for business success and tool for enhancing the competitiveness of Industries. Intellectual Property Regime in India has been substantially refurbished after joining TRIPS by amending all IP legislations. As India is one of the largest economies in the world and plays a major role in IPR on the global IPR platform, it is necessary to develop efficient IPR regime in the country which will result in building a strong IPR profile for the stakeholders and, in turn, for the country that will strengthen “Make In India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat” in the long run.

However, at present, there is lack of sufficient understanding and knowledge on IPRs among the people dealing with IPRs at different levels including post-TRIPs developments in IPR and digital reforms that have simplified IPR procedures and made them user-friendly.

In view of this, a comprehensive and compact Single Credit Online Certificate Course is prepared on the Fundamentals of IPRs. The present course is bound to benefit all those engaged in the manufacture, services, business, IP-education and research by enriching their knowledge, skill and expertise and may include legal fraternity, professionals, IP-academicians, industry managers, MSME, Startups, students in IPRs and individuals and enterprises willing to protect their Trademarks, Designs and Copyrights.

The course is meticulously designed to impart detail legal and practical knowledge on all aspects of Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Designs along with recent technical developments and process re-engineering that have taken place over the years.

Faculties for the present course include senior officials of Indian Intellectual Property Office and reputed IPR professionals who are known for their knowledge and expertise.
