Intellectual Property Right (IPR) Cell
Intellectual property (IPR) refers to various distinct types of creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images and designs used in commerce. A set of exclusive rights like copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights and trade secrets are recognized under the corresponding fields of law. Intellectual property rights are the rights given to persons over the creations of their minds. They usually give the creator an exclusive right over the use of his/her creation for a certain period of time.
IPR is protected by law, for example, patents, copyrights and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IPR system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.
