IPR Cell

The School has created an IPR Cell not only to create new knowledge (creations) in the form of patents, trademarks, geographical indications, and industrial designs etc., but also provides laws that bring a stable, safe and sustainable eco-system over intellectual products, processes and services for the sole benefit of society.

There are two branches of IPR: industrial property (first recognized in the Paris Convention in 1883) and copyright (first recognized in the Berne Convention, 1886). Industrial property consists of patents, trademarks, geographical indications, and industrial designs etc. that are territorial in nature. IPRs are statutory rights that allow originators to exploit their inventions or innovations exclusively for a particular period of time.
