Intellectual Property Rights Cell
Desh Bhagat University, Mandi Gobindgarh

Knowledge of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) help in identification of innovative and path breaking technologies. Moreover, by successful translation of appropriate technology into commercialization will benefit the common man. Further the knowledge of IPR answers the following important questions:

  • How the life of a common man can be improved?
  • How research can be translated into appropriate technology resulting into better products?
  • How the technology will lead to more number and employment?

In our country very few people know about the Intellectual Property Rights and its role in the economic development of the nation. In order to educate the potential people for generating IPR, Desh Bhagat University, Mandi Gobindgarh, has created an IPR cell in collaboration with Punjab State Council for Science & Technology.

VISION

Integration of IPR in educational framework of University for contributing to the development and implementation of IPR in regional and national context

OBJECTIVES

The main objective of this IPR cell is to create the awareness on IPR issues by organizing workshops, quiz, conferences, seminars in order to motivate introduction of innovative and path breaking technologies in the society

Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property (IP) pertains to any original creation of the human intellect such as artistic, literary, technical or scientific creation. Intellectual property rights (IPR) refers to the legal rights given to the inventor or creator to protect his/her invention or creation for a certain period of time. These legal rights confer an exclusive right to the inventor/creator or his assignee to fully utilize his invention/creation for a given period of time and to debar others from using the same without his permission. Thus, IPR is a strong tool to recover benefits and recoup for investments, time, money, effort invested for development of the invention/creation. IPRs aids in the economic development of a country by promoting healthy competition and encouraging industrial development and economic growth.

IPR Protection helps in:
  • Business Image building (National and International )
  • Encouraging R&D at universities and research centres;
  • Attracting collaborators/funding agencies
  • Capturing new knowledge area
  • Helps in technology transfer, licensing & joint ventures
Why IPRs need to be protected:

After establishment of World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, all member nations of WTO had to comply to Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement. The TRIPS Agreement laid down minimum standards of IP protection to be provided by member states.

India being WTO member & TRIPS signatory has made various laws to provide IPR in all fields of technologies/creativities.
