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 enterprises. 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, Trademark, Copyright, etc. are key components for business success and tools 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 rapidly growing economies in the world and plays a major role in IPR on the global IPR platform, it is necessary to develop an 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 āMake In Indiaā and āAtmanirbhar Bharatā in the long run.
