Course Description

This introductory program provides a foundational and comprehensive overview of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), examining the legal frameworks designed to protect creations of the human mind. It is designed to equip participants with a basic understanding of the four major types of IP: Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks, and Trade Secrets. The course explores the rationale behind IP protection (fostering innovation and creativity), the essential criteria for securing each type of right, and the fundamental differences in the scope and duration of protection.

Key topics include the process of registering a trademark, the concept of infringement, the importance of IP in the global economy, and the role of international agreements (like the TRIPS Agreement basics). This award is ideal for individuals seeking a broad, accessible entry point into the legal and commercial aspects of IP, including entrepreneurs, artists, small business owners, and students.
