TiE Mumbai is pleased to present the TiE Institute Workshop on Innovation & IPR in businesses. 

We often shy away from the subject of IPR due to its perceived complex nature. Result – Completely missing the possibilities and benefits that can arise out of sheer understanding of the bi-directional associativity between Innovation and dynamics of Intellectual Property Rights(IPR). 

Experts have discovered that a fair understanding of IP Laws actually spurts innovation! 


Key Takeaways from this workshop :
1. Participants shall understand the concept of IP, why is it more important in the economic liberalized era currently.

2. Realize why at all should innovators understand IP laws & why this is the right time, if not already late!

3. Most importantly, learn to use the global IP data to find innovative solutions. Learn interdependence of Innovation & IPR – realize that one facilitates developing the other!

4. Companies' IP wealth likely to grow as the participants deploy the techniques learnt and make it their way of life.

5. The way an innovator approaches new product development should change from next day!

6. The risk of infringing other's IPs shall minimize.

7. Leveraging the complete commercial benefit by the process of licensing and comprehensive IP Management.
