The Academy of Intellectual Property Studies (AIPS) will be organizing a two- day clinic on “Meeting the Inventor” on February 12 and 13. The clinic will be an in-depth analysis of the interaction between the inventor and the IP cell in an organization. In an effort to maximize the IP value of the R&D efforts of the organization, especially that of the patents it files, the patent has to stand in the court of law and also have the best achievable commercial value. To ensure this, the patent manager / attorney and the actual inventor have to work in tandem, such that the groundwork laid is dependable and foolproof. The clinic is devised to develop related expertise, and looks at how the IP cell and the R& D team in an organization should interact such that potential IP is recognized and its full value extracted.

The clinic will adopt a highly interactive methodology .Under the mentorship of experienced professionals, a real-life scenario will be simulated wherein the participants will work on suitable cases.

The AIPS clinic will train participants with the support of leading faculty H. Subramaniam of Subramaniam, Natraj & Associates, New Delhi and Dr B N Roy of Lupin Ltd.
