💡 Understanding IPR & Innovation Protection

Intellectual Property Rights play a vital role in transforming ideas and research outcomes into valuable intellectual assets. The session focused on creating awareness about Intellectual Property Rights, patents and design filing, helping participants understand the importance of protecting original ideas, inventions and designs.

The programme provided participants with valuable insights into the fundamentals of IPR and the significance of appropriate intellectual property protection in today's research- and innovation-driven environment.

🔍 From Idea to Intellectual Property

For students and researchers, understanding the patent and design filing process is an important step towards taking research and innovation beyond the laboratory and classroom.

The session encouraged participants to think about:

  • 💡 Identifying innovative ideas and inventions

  • 📑 Understanding patent protection

  • 🎨 Recognising the importance of design protection

  • 🔐 Protecting intellectual creations

  • 🚀 Connecting research with innovation and entrepreneurship

🌟 1000+ Registrations – A Remarkable Response

The participation of more than 1000 registrants made the programme a significant knowledge-sharing initiative. The overwhelming response reflected the increasing awareness and curiosity surrounding IPR among the academic community.

The collaboration between RGNIIPM, NIPAM, SFIT LIRC and the R&D Cell provided an effective platform for participants to learn about an important aspect of the research and innovation ecosystem.

🤝 Building an Innovation-Oriented Culture

The programme reinforced SFIT's commitment to promoting research, innovation, knowledge sharing and intellectual property awareness among its academic community.

Such initiatives empower students, faculty and researchers to not only create new knowledge and innovations but also understand the importance of protecting and translating their ideas into intellectual assets.



The overwhelming response to the session marks another meaningful step towards fostering a culture of innovation, research and IPR awareness at SFIT.
