Concept Note for the Event

Human intellect is the creator of Intellectual Property with the investment of labour skill and judgment, generating rights in the property, known as intellectual property Rights. It’s an exclusive right granted to the creators of their creations. Intellectual Property Rights such as Patents, Copyrights, trademarks, Industrial designs, Geographical Indications, Trade secrets, Layout designs for Integrated Circuits, Traditional Knowledge, Plant Variety and Farmers' Rights, Biotechnology, agriculture, etc. It is a legal concept that refers to creations of the mind for which exclusive rights are recognized. Intellectual property rights incentivize the creator to develop his/her creation and share it with other people for the development of society.

IPRs play a very important role in the development of individuals and society. IPRs protect and encourage the creators for innovation and economic gain. It also leads to healthy competition among creators and users, which ultimately leads to the progress of society. The transfer of technology is important for developmental research. It is helpful in the solution to global challenges in the field of alternate energy resources, new products to consumers, and pharmaceutical development. Agriculture and biotechnology are part and parcel of IPRs. Industries are interwoven with intellectual properties. It is necessary to stimulate economic growth and encourage fair trading, which leads to employment, trade, and commerce for economic and social development. Of course, it requires effective enforcement mechanisms for the protection of their rights.
