Udaipur | A one-day online workshop on the theme “Patent and Design Awareness” was successfully organized on Tuesday under the joint auspices of the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Intellectual Property Management (RGNIIPM), Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, and Janardan Rai Nagar Rajasthan Vidyapeeth.

Presiding over the workshop, Vice Chancellor Prof. S.S. Sarangdevot emphasized that by protecting innovations, India is strengthening the foundation of a knowledge-driven economy. He stated that intellectual property protection has become more crucial than ever in today’s digital era, and that an IPR revolution is needed to support inclusive growth and strengthen IPR laws, ultimately leading to quality employment opportunities.

Keynote speaker Mr. Kumar Raju, Assistant Controller (Patent & Design), provided detailed insights on patents, copyrights, trademarks, and design registrations at national and international levels.
