GUEST LECTURE ON TRADE IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

25th& 26th February 2019

Background

In the recent past Intellectual Property has become an integral part of Global economy with

large implications in the international trade. Intellectual property Rights have been defined as

those ideas, inventions and creative expressions which are bestowed with the status of

property. It is the creative work of human intellect and the right to intellectual property is an

intangible right. The main object behind intellectual property is to promote the progress of

science and technology, arts, literature and other creative works and to encourage and reward

creativity. There are several types of intellectual property rights granted like patent,

copyright, trademark, etc. intellectual property rights aim at safeguarding creators and other

producers of intellectual goods and services by granting them certain time-limited rights to

control the use made of those productions.

With the conclusion of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property

Rights(TRIPS) in World Trade Organization the protection and enforcement of IPRs was

enhanced. TRIPS agreement is considered as an important and most complete multilateral

with the commitments undertaken by them and many new legislations were also passed for

the protection of intellectual property rights to meet the obligations internationally. With the

enhanced protection and enforcement of IPRs there is an incentive for innovations. The

concept of Intellectual Property Rights in India cannot be divorced from the developments in

the international arena. In a world where much more focus is towards Licensing of IP and IP

SUMMARY OF THE EVENT

IPUnveil 2019 – An IPR Awareness Campaign

AIM

The aim of the 2-day event organised by Centre for Intellectual Property Research and

Advocacy (CIPRA) - Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad, on the 11th to 12

th February 2019

was to spread awareness amongst the students in the rapidly emerging domain of intellectual

property rights and to engage them in different activities to enhance their knowledge.

About IPUnveil 2019

CIPRA organised three events to achieve the objective of the event. Broadly, the events

organised were under the following heads:

AcademicIP – to engage in students with the academic aspect of intellectual property

rights,

iPeers – to enable students to engage in discussions with their peers in relation to

intellectual property rights, and encourage peer to peer learning,

CreativeIP – to stimulate the creativity amongst students and to engage them in the

creative domain of IPR.

iPeers

Through an in-depth discussion on the topic of IPR and its various aspects with

understanding of popular case studies, CIPRA members and attendees of the session were

able to understand the developments in IP laws in India and around the world. The session

was conducted at 3:00PM in the CIPRA cell room on the 11th

of February, 2019. The

participants and the cell members were able to co-educate one another, providing each other

with candid knowledge in the fields of Intellectual Property Rights.

AcademicIP

Workshop

A workshop was conducted on the topic “IPR and Artificial Intelligence” by Ekta Bahl,

Partner at Samvad Partners, Hyderabad and Nischali Varanasi, Senior Associate at Samvad

Partners, Hyderabad. It began at 1:00pm in the Convention Hall, with about 70 students

gathered for the session. The event was conducted unlike other conventional workshops, as

the session kept all the students on their feet and even got the CIPRA members involved in

activities relating to Artificial Intelligence. It was an informal talk and was very informative.

The speakers related the topics of AI and IPR and how essential it will be in future

technological developments.

VerBOSS

“For good ideas and true innovation, you need human interaction, conflict, argument and

debate.”

With this very spirit, CIPRA came up with the concept of VerBOSS, an intra-varsity debating

competition, for the students of 1st, 2

nd and 3

rd year of Symsiosis Law School, Hyderabad.

The second edition of debate competition was held on 12th of February, 2019 10:45AM

onwards. The motion of the debate was “Whether legislation should be enacted to protect

trade secrets?”

The participants of the competition were evaluated by Mr. G Vidyadhar Raghavan, Training

and Placement Officer at Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad and Mr. Hifajatali Sayyed,

Assistant Professor at Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad.

The competition accommodated 10 speakers where 5 speakers were “for” the motion

and the rest were “against” the motion. Each speaker was given a total time of 4

minutes to present their arguments, and one minute for rebuttal.

The best speaker “for” and “against” the motion were presented with a certificate

along with a cash prize.

The atmosphere in the room was absolutely emphatic, as a debate should be.

Trademark Filing Competition

The „Trademark Filing competition‟ was the first of its kind which was organized by CIPRA

under AcademicIP. This competition was held in the CIPRA Cell Room and was adjudged by

Ms. Ekta Bahl and Ms. Nishchali.

Briefing Session

The participants were also briefed regarding the nature of the competition, the trademark law

and the procedure of trademark filing on the 9th of February.

Structure of the Competiton

The Competition had two rounds namely,

(i) Written Submissions:

The teams had to fill the actual form for Trademark filing and adhere to the procedures

thereby. This particular round also acted as a screening round to select limited teams for the

Oral Submissions round. Moreover, the purpose behind making the participanst fill in the

details in the actual form of Trademark Filing was to give them an idea as to the practical

aspect of it and various other know-hows. The first round witnesses an active participation

from several teams.

10 teams were selected for the second round which was the „Oral Submissions‟ Round on the

basis of their written submissions. The teams were assigned one side each viz. applicant and

opposition through draw of lots which took place one day before the Competition i.e. on 11th

February.

(ii) Oral Submissions

The Oral Submissions were before the two guest Judges namely Ms. Ekta Bahl and Ms.

Nishachali. Each side viz. applicant and opposition were given a time period of 10 minutes to

make their arguments. Hence, each round lasted for 20 minutes and there were 5 such rounds.

The participants were marked on the basis of their research, their understanding of IP law,

their application of the laws, etc.

CreativeIP

Triptych: An Innovative Grid

Team CIPRA embraces the value of creativity and its application everywhere. Keeping this in

mind, we came up with a unique amalgamation of writing, photography and designing. The

event was conducted on the 11th

of February 2019 10:30 AM onwards in the CIPRA Cell

Room. Creative IP was an opportunity for every student who was in need of a platform to

showcase creativity and art. Through Triptych, students were expected to come up with an

innovative grid that comprised of three art forms, namely, writing, designing and

photography.

The students, in a team of three, were first given time individually, and then time to work

together to come up with a presentation for the judge. Students were allotted a theme on the

spot in the form of a poem by the members of team CIPRA. The event was judged by Mr.

Amish, Assistant Professor at Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad.

Writing Round:

In this round, the writers from each team had to prepare a write-up of their interpretations

from the theme of the competition.

Photography Round:

In this round the photographers represented the idea of the writer and their interpretations

through a photo that they had to click from the campus.

Designing Round:

In this round the designer with their art had to put both the above works together to form a

piece that presents the idea of their team members.

And finally, the team members had to present their unique idea to the Judge and CIPRA

members. The judging criterion was purely based on creativity, relevance and content. The

aim of the event was to assess the level of creativity reflecting in the final product, the ability

of team members to coordinate and finally, the degree of free expression involved.

fundamental duties. So we conducted classes on Constitution of India. The members who visited

the school tried to make the students aware about their Legal rights and make them well versed with the

constitution of India and its functioning. Basic fundamental rights were being taught to them. The Legal

ensure that knowledge is being passed on.

EXPERIENECE:

Through this visit the members of the center created impact on school students. They taught
