National Council on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)

The Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Council at ASSOCHAM is intensively involved with issues pertaining to protection and enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights. It has taken decisive steps in raising the levels of awareness about Intellectual Property Rights amongst the citizens of India. In this regard, ASSOCHAM’s constructive contributions span various capacity building exercises and training programs for the industry, the judiciary, and the law enforcement agencies. Further, the IPR council is a platform for continuous interaction between the industry and the Government with a view to providing an interface for businesses to resolve their issues pertaining to IPRs. Most importantly, ASSOCHAM is also instrumental in offering substantive and comprehensive inputs and feedback to the Government on policy-related matters.
