Intellectual Property Rights

The Centre for Intellectual Property Rights was established with the objective of enhancing the intellectual property knowledge base and research capabilities of the country in general and the student community in particular. The centre attempts to achieve these aims through a two-pronged strategy. Firstly, it attempts to disseminate information on intellectual property rights with a view to create awareness in the public in general. Secondly, it initiates research into relatively unexplored and novel areas. To create awareness of IPR so as to equip the students and other professionals with the latest developments in the field of IPR also to expand knowledge and understanding of the idea, substance and scope of Intellectual Property Rights Centre for IPR was set up in 2015. The main objective of the Centre for IPR is to become the beacon in the field of Intellectual Property Rights by encouraging development of knowledge and best practices cutting across academia, practitioners and research fraternity. Keeping this objective in mind, an IP clinic has been established at ILNU this would not only provide knowledge to students but also make them blossom into complete individuals having proper knowledge in their field of study. For the last four years the Centre for IPR has been recognised and awarded “IP Campus of the Year (Legal)” by IPPO (Intellectual Property Promotion and Outreach Foundation) Ahmedabad.
