PURPOSE OF WORKSHOP The major research work starts at academic level but due to lack of awareness and misunderstanding related to Patent rights and its importance, the most of research remains in the article publication only. Many times difficulties are being faced while drafting a patent. It is intended through this workshop to familiarize participants with the various practical issues that could arise, while working on any projects eligible for patent filing. The objective of the workshop is to make participants understand the real facts of patent protection and patent rights and make them equip themselves to handle all activities like project selection, patent search and patent drafting.
