IP Training
Structured Intellectual Property Education for Corporates, Institutions, and Professionals
Intellectual property plays a critical role in innovation-led growth, competitive positioning, and long-term value creation. However, the effectiveness of IP protection and commercialisation depends significantly on how well organisations understand and apply IP principles in day-to-day decision-making. IIPRD’s IP Training programmes are designed to bridge this gap: equipping technical, legal, and business teams with practical, decision-relevant IP knowledge aligned with real-world corporate and institutional needs, drawing on decades of practitioner experience across prosecution, enforcement, and commercialisation matters.
IP Training
IP training that builds real patent skills
Courses, a global competition, webinars, and conferences, taught through real-life examples
IIPRD, in collaboration with Khurana & Khurana IP Attorneys, delivers practical intellectual property training. From a hands-on core course on patent drafting to the decade-old International Patent Drafting Competition, topical webinars, and in-depth symposiums and conferences, our programs turn theory into applied skill.
Four ways to build IP skill
From a structured drafting course to live competitions and events, each format suits a different way of learning.
Courses and Workshops
Khurana & Khurana and IIPRD have put together a water-tight core course on patent drafting practices that focuses, comprehensively and only through real-life examples, on how patent applications are to be drafted and prepared.
International Patent Drafting Competition (IPDC)
For over 10 years, IIPRD, in collaboration with Khurana & Khurana IP Attorneys, has championed the International Patent Drafting Competition (IPDC).
Webinars
Focused sessions on current developments, such as an overview of recent developments in the examination of computer-implemented inventions by the EPO, including recent case law and prosecution examples.
Symposiums and Conferences
In-depth events across jurisdictions, such as the Pharma Symposium 2025 on pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical patents across the U.S., Europe, and India.
Matching the format to the learner
The four formats teach in different ways. This is the quickest way to pick the right one.
| Format | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Courses & workshops | A structured core course on patent drafting, taught through real-life examples | Building practical drafting skill |
| IPDC | A 10-year international patent drafting competition | Testing and sharpening skill under challenge |
| Webinars | Short sessions on current, fast-moving IP topics | Staying up to date |
| Symposiums & conferences | In-depth, multi-jurisdiction events on focused subjects | Deep dives and networking |
