About this Course

Think innovation, think creativity, think Intellectual Property! Yes, intellectual property has almost become sine qua non to motivate creativity and intellectual work. It comes in many forms. It may be the development of disruptive technology, authoring a book, composing music or even designing a car. One thing that's common in all these works is the intellectual effort and skills that go into designing the product or creative work. Bringing a product from concept to market is easier said than done. Imagine if such intellectual work is unauthorisedly used or pirated. The owner of the work would lose on the efforts as well as economic potential of the intellectual work. The objective of this course is to bring about a basic understanding of IP Rights. The course is very useful to aspirants who wish to further specialise in IPR and engage in the IP domain. The course is also aimed to provide insight into identifying appropriate IP for your innovative works and creativity.

Owning the intellectual property is like owning land: You need to keep investing in it again and again to get a payoff; you can’t simply sit back and collect rent.
