Time: 4:00 – 5:30 P.M
Participants: 40+
One of the key stages of innovation is monetization. However, many a times we fail to convert this intangible asset into a tangible asset. This failure is due to many reasons, but a very common reason is lack of understanding and awareness of basic flow of course of innovation. There is a misconception that holding a patent right would translate into cash flow. Until the owner of the patent takes additional efforts to monetize those rights, a patent cannot be translated into an asset. Though we are aware about the issue, but we are not aware about the process of monetization to make a sizable profit.
The proposed session, “An Anatomy of Patent Monetization Strategy”, will unveil certain key steps and insight about the monetization process. We aim to discuss about various strategies that can be followed during initiation till deal making process

Innovation for Nation | 14th August, 2021
India has always been a land of sages, Gurus, skills, art and culture. It has a proud history where the royal courts have included skilled artisans proudly calling them as Jewels or Nav-ratnas. This was the era of Glorious India. With time passing, this centre of knowledge, skills and innovations shifted to western part of the world. Our indigenous skills got replaced by machines which were entirely of foreign origin. Eventually, the tag of Glorious India started fading and got lost and somehow, we also undermined our own skills and rich cultural heritage.

CAPITALISING THE LEGACY: GLORY OF GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATION | 30th July, 2021

GI is even more important to protect the consumers by assuring them of the authenticity of the product and making sure they are not deceived by persons passing off goods unrelated to the said geographical area. The primary objective of GI, i.e. benefit sharing and upliftment of local communities gets defeated when protection of GI is undermined.

IP: TOOL FOR DOMINANCE | 18th February, 2021
Creativity is valued most when it is ‘ORIGINAL’. Knowingly or unknowingly, sometimes, creativities end up being a sheer case of ‘Reinventing the wheel’.
