About Centre for Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual Property (IP) is a creation of mind and it confers right to the creator by the law

towards the exclusive use of his creation. Though this right is granted for a certain period, the

exclusive nature of it makes it significant. In India IP law has undergone a significant change

due to TRIPS, which has a direct impact on legal regime pertains to patents, copyrights,

designs, trademarks, geographical indications etc. The existing IP laws were amended from

time to time to be on par with changes internationally. In recent years Intellectual Property

Rights (IPR) emerged as the most important policy instrument. With its growing presence,

however, it has also been subjected to intense criticism. Moreover, the structure of the

institution itself has undergone periodic changes with incorporations of newer subject matters

into its ambit. It is the endeavour of the C-IPR to become the beacon in the field of

Intellectual Property Rights by encouraging synthesis of knowledge and best practices cutting

across academia, practitioners and research fraternity.
