OBJECTIVE
\nIPR is one of the most basic rights of an i ntellectual to claim ownership to one's own creations and derive benefits out of it. Several universities in the developed countries have been gener ating enormous resources through the IPR. However\, awareness about the im portance of IPR has not been given emphasis in the academic community in o ur country. Every year students are working on various projects with the g uidance of
\nFaculty members and giving more importance for publishin g the outcomes in Conferences/Journals. Although publications are certainl y important\, protection of one's innovations and inventions are also equa lly important. Conversion of innovative
\nprojects into viable produc ts and claiming IPR has not rooted deep in academia especially in Engineer ing Colleges and other academic institutions. This lack of awareness has l ed to loss
\nof several of students/faculty members intellectual prop erties and thereby our competitiveness. In this context\, this IPR awarene ss workshop is organized to give strong momentum to the innovation initiat ives of students/Faculty members and facilitate protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).
