Vignan Institute of Law is organizing a National Conference on “Techno-IP Contours in India” on August 13.
About the Conference
Innovation in Science & Technology is pivotal in improving the standard of living in India for ages. Strong IPR protection legal regime not only encourages the innovator and industrial partners to develop further, even the local communities, and general masses derive large benefits from them.
Stronger IPR protection reduces the danger of technology spillover and increases technology licensing and joint ventures, whereas weaker IPR protection is one of the deterrents to the development of Science and Technology.
Moreover, weak IPR protection has a negative impact on the country’s overall Research & Development in all sectors. The development in Science & technology can either be open or secretive, international or national. It usually occurs through a proper channel for disseminating the fundamental technical expertise in order to ensure the protection of IPR.
IPR law facilitates proper transfer by regulating the marker and preventing imitation. The discourse above, clearly indicates that an effective IPR regime is the most suitable one for the development of Science & Technology.
