Navodbhava : The Ipr Cell

Intellectual Property Rights have become a significant issue of discussion in the last two decades with the establishment of the WTO and the TRIPs agreement on intellectual property rights. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is an umbrella term that includes patents, copy rights, trademarks, designs, plant variety protection, trade secrets and geographical indications. Research and Innovation in our country emerge both from industry as well as academic institutions and the college recognizes the need for academic debate to come up with creative solutions to old problems.

In today’s era, where intellectual property rights are globally enforceable, we need to impart knowledge about the different form of IPR protection to the young generation in order to develop a conducive environment where they are equipped to create novel and original innovations and protect them simultaneously.

Navodbhava : The IPR Cell was inaugurated on 13th October 2018 by Prof. (Dr.) V. Sudesh, Bangalore University. The Cell has been established with the objective of enhancing the intellectual property knowledge and research capabilities of the students of KLE Law College as well as to help the general public by imparting awareness, information and knowledge regarding IPR.
