WHY INVEST IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS?
Intellectual Property Rights mostly include patent, trademarks, industrial designs, copyrights to protect the creation of one’s mind, which protect different creations of mind such as an invention, a brand name/logo, a shape/design of a watch, a song/music composition respectively. Investing in protecting your intellectual property rights may lead to increase in your business’ worth, give you negotiating power while speaking with a prospective client or investor, and boost your and your company’s/product’s reputation, while also protecting the same reputation.

As Government of India embarks upon a journey to boost entrepreneurship in India through its various schemes that lay stress on increasing IPR numbers in India by linking many funding schemes with it, it is therefore desirable that a basic understanding of IPR is there in budding entrepreneurs, start-ups, SMEs and inventors.
