The first track will cover the overview of creating an IPR ecosystem, innovation, commercialization, and IPR contributions for start-ups and entrepreneurs, and future trends and challenges.

Keynote Address by Prof. (Dr.) Ghayur Alam |
The Keynote speaker, Prof. (Dr.) Ghayur Alam started his talk by emphasizing the paramount importance of acquiring a deep understanding of the vocabulary associated with Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Dr. Alam stressed that we must delve into the eight types of IPR, comprehending what each type protects. In his address, Dr. Alam underscored the significance of fostering creativity, encompassing both useful and aesthetic aspects. He urged the audience to actively promote critical thinking, recognizing that many of us dwell in a world of second-hand knowledge.
The pertinent question he posed is, "What new knowledge have we created, or what innovative technology have we contributed?" Dr. Alam highlighted the challenge of living in a world saturated with pre-existing information. He emphasized that true progress occurs when we create new knowledge or pioneer innovative technologies. Achieving this, he argued, requires the establishment of a conducive environment for creativity—an essential challenge that must be addressed. In conclusion, Dr. Ghayur Alam's words serve as a call to action, urging us to not only understand the intricacies of intellectual property but also actively cultivate an environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and the generation of new knowledge.
After the concluding words of Dr. Ghayur Alam, Dr. Sheena thanked him for creatively introducing IPR to everyone. She also said that these questions posed by Dr. Alam will help all of us to travel on the journey of innovation.
Ms. Moumita Gorai (Assistant Manager, CIPAM, New Delhi) was the subject expert who joined the seminar through the online platform to share her knowledge. She started by discussing the basic meaning of the word Intellectual property rights wherein she said that the word intellectual itself means intellect something which gives us the power and creativity to think. An idea is also a form of property. That can also have a copyright. She also discussed various facets of IPR and gave lots of live examples of innovative products. She emphasized the differences between innovation, invention, and discovery. Dr. Moumita was applauded for sharing insights on the pertinent areas of intellectual property rights.
