CH-205- INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR)
(Credits: 02) Theory: 30 Lectures
In this era of liberalization and globalization, the perception about science and its practices has undergone
dramatic change. The importance of protecting the scientific discoveries, with commercial potential or the
intellectual property rights is being discussed at all levels – statutory, administrative, and judicial. With
India ratifying the WTO agreement, it has become obligatory on its part to follow a minimum acceptable
standard for protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights. The purpose of this course is to
apprise the students about the multifaceted dimensions of this issue.
