BACKGROUND
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) refers to the creations of mind and it confers right to the creator by law, towards the exclusive use of his creation. Though this right is granted for a certain period, the exclusive nature of it makes it significant. In India, IP law has undergone a significant change due to TRIPS, which has a direct impact on legal regime pertaining to patents, copyrights, designs, trademarks, geographical indications etc. The existing IP laws were amended from time to time to be on par with international standards. In recent years, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) has emerged as the most important policy instrument. With its growing presence, it has been however, subjected to intense criticism. Moreover, the structure of the institution itself has undergone periodic changes with incorporations of new subject matters into its ambit. This simulation intends to provide an analytical overview of the content and structure of the institution of IPR along with its evolutionary trajectory. In a nutshell, the simulation will cover the philosophy of intellectual property rights, various technical and legal dimensions of IPR,implications of IPR for growth and development of science, along with the various socio-economic and ethico-legal consequences of IPR on economic development.
