Intellectual Property Law
IPR Certificate Course Online India
Intellectual property law is the branch of law that protects creations of the mind — inventions, brand names, creative works, and designs — through patents, trademarks, copyrights, and geographical indications, giving creators and businesses exclusive rights to use, license, and commercialize their innovations.
IP Law is Now a Core Skill for Lawyers, Founders & Creators Alike
India's innovation economy — from pharma and technology to content and design — runs on intellectual property. Yet most professionals only learn IP law in passing, and most courses cover only patents or only trademarks. This certificate course on intellectual property law covers every major IP vertical in one structured program.
Across 10 live sessions, you'll study trademark and patent law and litigation, copyright, industrial designs, geographical indications, trade secrets, and practical drafting — governed by the Patents Act 1970, Trade Marks Act 1999, and Copyright Act 1957, and administered by the CGPDTM and DPIIT.
Whether you're a law student, an engineer eyeing the Patent Agent Examination, a startup founder protecting your brand, or a corporate in-house counsel, this Legal Research and Analysis course is mentored by an Advocate of the Supreme Court of India.
