ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) with special reference to patent plays a vital role in enhancing the socio–economic prosperity of the country. The economic functioning of IPR can be thought of as minimization of transaction costs (search, bargain, and enforcement) and the optimization of time to fruition and avoidance of duplication.

In India, patent applications can be filed by a patent agent or an individual having some scientific and technical background to understand the invention. However, no one can understand the invention better than the inventors themselves. Document preparation requires healthy discussions between the inventor and agent.
