Intellectual Property Rights

Sector header

The Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Division at FICCI is intensively involved with issues pertaining to protection and enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights. It has taken decisive steps in raising the levels of awareness about Intellectual Property Rights amongst the citizens of India. In this regard, FICCI’s constructive contributions span various capacity building exercises and training programs for the industry, the judiciary, and the law enforcement agencies.


Further, the IPR division is a platform for continuous interaction between the industry and the Government with a view to providing an interface for businesses to resolve their issues pertaining to IPRs. Most importantly, FICCI is also instrumental in offering substantive and comprehensive inputs and feedback to the Government on policy-related matters.
 
FICCI IPR Division has established an Intellectual Property Education Centre (IPEC) with the objective to impart specialized education in IP field. The objective is to develop awareness about IPR as well as to develop a pool of professionals in the area of IPR, whose knowledge and services will benefit the Industry at large.
 

The IPEC intends to become a premier IP Education place both for students and Industry.
