About the conference

Amity University is organising a National Seminar on Intellectual Property Rights Regime: A REFLECTION OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY & ECONOMICS in hybrid mode.

Intellectual Property Right as the nomenclature suggests it is a right related to ‘property’ but it is different from the idea of property which is generally understood; first, the property here is not tangible, secondly, this property right is limited only to the extent of ‘right to exclude’ thirdly, and most significantly it is the outcome of human intellect.

The idea of Intellectual Property Rights (hereinafter, IPR) is not singular in its manifestation but refers to a bouquet of eight types. Seven types of IPR namely; copyright, patent, trademark, design, geographical indication, plant variety protection and layout designs of semiconductor integrated circuits are recognised and protected by the legislations enacted by the Parliament whereas the eighth type of IPR; trade secret is recognised by the Court.

Theme – I: Regimes of Control: Implications for National and International Regulations The first theme will be focusing on the historical development of the recognition of intellectual property and the development of legal regimes through various international treaties and conventions related to the protection of intellectual property rights and their consequences on the development of domestic legislations. The international conventions to protect intellectual property rights include Paris Convention, the Berne Convention, International Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations (Rome Convention), and the Treaty on Intellectual Property in Respect of Integrated Circuits (IPIC Treaty).

Theme – II: Intellectual Property Rights: The Indian Experience The second theme will focus on the various Indian legislations related to the protection of intellectual property rights and its impact on the Indian economy and the society at large.
