INDO-US SPONSORED
INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS-CUM-WORKSHOP ON IPR
October 5 - 7, 2009

Overview

 

The 21st century is known as an era of science and technology. All-round Developments are taking place at very fast pace and these would determine the growth and success of any nation, besides changing the lives of mankind in all areas but one has to keep abreast of these research, innovation and technology can only be useful if it leads to commercial/societal utilization for which Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues are of immense importance.

Seeing its importance, a three-day Workshop  is being organized in the area of IPR to provide a platform to researchers and academicians, students and industry partners from India and abroad to come together and share their experiences and to deliberate on: Evolution of Intellectual Property Rights; Trademarks and Geographical Indicators; Patents and Industrial Designs; Copyrights Enforcement; IPR for Economic Growth; Role of Regulatory Bodies; IPR in the Digital Age; Technology Transfer; Traditional Knowledge and Biodiversity; and many more.

The lectures will be delivered by national and international experts followed by interactive round table discussions. For further clarification and assistance on practical IPR issues, Amity University IPR experts will be available on the spot.
