ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
In today's business, Intellectual Property is the most powerful
commercial asset that the business possesses. In fact, Intellectual
Properties are spark plugs that give thunderous start and bring
investments in monetary, fixed, and intangible assets to profitable life,
which otherwise could well remain dormant. It is inevitable that
Intellectual Properties would enjoy enhanced prestige, as this new
economic paradigm becomes dominant, and as more and more
mergers, acquisitions and strategic alliances go through and the
business networking expands. At the same time, the scope and
definition of Intellectual Property is expanding with growth of
international trade and globalization of economic activities. That is
why the number of major "Intellectual Property Wars" are growing
between competitors and contemporaries, besides growing threat
from international exploiters. Hence, the business establishments
need to understand the real scenario and profile of Intellectual
Property to best utilize their IP Portfolios and the symposium is the
right opportunity in understanding these issues.
At the same time, creating & holding of Intellectual Property Portfolio is one aspect, which yields no dividends and rather becomes a whiteelephant, unless commercialised. It is not like a Physical Property which even if is lying vacant may give some substantial capital gains, thus remunerating the investment. Even the characteristics of Intellectual Property are very different as compared to Physical Property, wherein largely the IP rights are not absolute. Intellectual property, if not put into use is not only dead investment as the property rights of which would expire after its legal or commercial life, but would also cost substantially in its protection and maintenance. At the same time, today, the Intellectual Property portfolios are wide open for easy grab and commercialisation. However, the Indian Business and R&D establishments largely have not exploited the value that these intangible assets provide and this educational programme would provide the real understanding of all these issues.
Creation, Protection and Exploitation of Intellectual Property is an expensive game and needs perfect business strategy. The monopoly rights in the form of Intellectual Property, granted through various statutes can only be gainfully utilised globally, if there is comprehensive knowledge on how to commercialise the monopoly rights, which are largely governed by existing Laws & Practices, which continue to undergo change as the IP definition expands. Symposium would cover and will provide real insight of all such issues; therefore the programme is a must for all senior executives of the Corporate and for professionals practicing in the related fields.
HOW THE WORKSHOP IS UNIQUE
Intellectual Property management is an essential adjunct to the core
business of any Corporation and it must be aligned with other core
activities. At the same time exploitation of Intellectual Property Assets
is absolutely dependent on the understanding of IP Commercial
issues in international scenario, which often are not deliberated, hence
not well understood. At the same time, any wrong, in any step leading
to commercialisation, may not only cut down the rightful commercial
gains but may also lead to commercial and legal disputes, which often
comes back to hunt, thereby creating complications beyond
imagination. The symposium would deliberate all such issues and the
speakers will provide all practical aspects and would share their
decades of practical experience in the field through various case
studies, which they have handled themselves. At the same time both
the speakers would speak on all the topics to share their experience
and will answer all questions the delegates may have on protection
and commercialisation of Intellectual Property. In nutshell the
symposium is must for building a perfect IP Protection and
Commercialisation strategy.
