National Seminar on IP and the SDG’s by NUSRL, Ranchi

Submissions invited for National Seminar on IP and the SDG’s by NUSRL, Ranchi. Submit Abstracts by April 26!

About the Organization

The Centre for Study and Research in Intellectual Property Rights (CSRIPR) was established with the noble vision of creating a forum which inculcates a culture of effective research in the field of IPR.

The prior aim of the Centre is to contribute to legal scholarship in the Intellectual Property Law world as India finds itself in the process of more rapid reform than ever before.

More in meticulous, the CSRIPR wishes to gain a better insight and glimpse into new and evolving areas of Intellectual Property Law (such as the protection of software, semi-conductor products and biotechnological inventions, standardization and technology transfers) and the general problems of patents, trademarks, designs and copyright.

About the Conference

In a rapidly evolving world, the intersection of Intellectual Property (IP) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a crucial landscape where innovation and creativity converge to pave the way for a shared and sustainable future.

IP, encompassing patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, plays a pivotal role in incentivizing and protecting the fruits of human ingenuity. The SDGs, a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all, find a powerful ally in the realm of intellectual property.

In the journey towards a sustainable and inclusive future, intellectual property emerges as a linchpin, fostering innovation and creativity across various domains outlined in the SDGs. Striking the right balance between protection and accessibility, IP lays the groundwork for a collaborative and innovative global community working towards common goals.

As we navigate the challenges of the 21st century, the synergy between IP and the SDGs holds the key to unlocking a future where prosperity is shared, innovation thrives, and creativity knows no bounds.
