COURSE OBJECTIVES
Developments in recent years have increased the knowledge acquisition process, which is considered to
have commercial value as well. The knowledge pool so generated may be considered as Patents which has grown tremendously in the academic community and society at large. The pace with which our modern science is progressing today, various new and useful inventions take place. Therefore, society in general and potential stakeholders like scientists, innovators, entrepreneurs & start-ups in particular need to be prepared for a range of potential outcomes. This calls for continued engagement between government, industry, academia, technical and policy experts, and of course, the public at large.
- Familiarise students about the need for creation, protection, commercialization and valuation of intellectual property, specifically Patents.
- Explains Various forms of Intellectual Property Rights.
- Familiarise with the entire process of patent filing (i.e. called Patent Prosecution technically and legally), along with relevant case studies.
- Feature expositions of emerging patent trends in exponential technologies like Artificial intelligence, Advanced Robotics, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Biotechnology, Nano-Technology, CRIs (Computer Related Inventions) & telecommunications and their patenting issues which in turn leads to myriad legal & practical challenges for the law makers and for other stakeholders.
- Highlight various schemes of GOI for promoting innovation and patent filing for universities, start-ups & budding entrepreneurs.
- The course also aims to train students via hand-on-training on crucial aspects of patenting.
