WORKSHOP ON MANAGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS TO BE HELD BY GPMA

Introduction:

 

IPRs are simply ‘legal rights associated with creations of the mind which have got commercial value’.  Since creations of the mind are very diverse e.g. painting, songs, movies, new drugs, new processes, innovative products, designs, new varieties of plants etc. one mechanism is not possible for protecting all creations of the mind. Thus, there are 8 different mechanisms for protecting creations of the mind or Intellect. These are Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks, Industrial Designs, Plant Varieties Protection, Layout Designs of ICs registration, Geographical Indications and Trade Secrets. Intellectual Property Rights are closely linked to monopoly rights for the innovator companies and individuals as a reward for ‘creativity’ and are universally recognized and enforced across the world.

 

Usefulness of IPRs in Business:

 

Just like physical property, intellectual property is an ‘asset’ which can be bought and sold. It is in fact the ‘intellectual capital’ of an industry and can drastically change the valuation of ‘knowledge intensive industries’ like pharma, diagnostics, biologicals, etc.  “Intellectual Property Rights” or IPRs can thus play a very powerful role in enhancing BUSINESS PROFITS of Pharma Companies such as goodwill of an industry can be protected by ‘trademarks’, while innovative packaging, brochures and catalogs can by protected by Copyright. Shapes can be protected by Industrial Designs whereas innovative processes and products can be patented. There are several methods by which IPRs can be used by Industry to enhance business profits and protect goodwill and products. However, due to lack of awareness, most Industries are unable to exploit the usefulness of IPRs in enhancing business profits and strategic planning.
