Experts from across the country and abroad discussed ins and outs of Intellectual Property Rights(IPR) in the two-day conclave on ‘IPRs in Building Self-Sustainable Higher Education Institutes - Role of Incubators,’ organised by Sri Krishnadevaraya University(SKU) in Anantapur, that concluded on Friday.
The Indian IPR is robust and complex but a time-taking system, while one can obtain an IPR in three months in Japan, said its External Trade Organisation Director, IPR Division, Hiroki Watanabe. The Japanese team has been organising awareness programmes and helping companies that wish to invest in India and obtain IPR or patents here, explained Mr. Hiroki.
Joining from Columbia virtually, David Hurtado, Founder & CEO, LicenciArte, Bogoto, shared his experience on how universities can monetise the IP assets for sustainable growth.
