Intellectual Property Rights
Advisor: Prof Ashwini Bansal . Coordinator: Mr. Rakesh Kumar

Intellectual Property, as the name suggests, is the creation and outcome of the human intellect. Rights attached to such creation of property from the human mind are referred to as intellectual property rights. The importance of intellectual property rights can be gauged from the fact that almost every country including India has specific laws to protect the various forms of intellectual property. World commerce today is ruled by companies who have created and protected their intellectual property. Protection of intellectual property has become so important that companies today carry out intellectual property audits to identify their intellectual wealth and form special departments to manage them. This course therefore, seeks to introduce the various forms of intellectual property and the legal provisions in place to protect them. It also throws light upon sticky issues in intellectual property protection like software and biotechnology patenting. Additionally, it also takes a look at the international arena through the initiatives taken by international organizations such as WIPO and WTO on intellectual property protection. The course has been designed keeping in mind the legal professional who wants to venture into this exciting field. Corporate and business organizations would also benefit immensely from this course as it would help them identify and harness the intellectual wealth produced by their organizations.
