Senior Law Officer and Deputy Director of Prosecution Pranesh Bharathnur has called upon students pursuing their academic career in centres of higher education and universities to have a thorough knowledge of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) so that they can legally protect their original works and innovations.
Speaking after inaugurating a one-day workshop on Intellectual Property Rights at the Doddappa Appa Auditorium on the main campus of the Sharnbasva University here on Sunday, Mr. Bharathnur said that IPR mainly relates to the mind and creativity and every creativity and original innovation should legally be protected by patenting them under IPR.
The workshop was jointly organised by the departments of Studies and Research in English, Studies and Research in Kannada, Journalism and Mass Communication and Computer Application of Sharnbasva University.
