Seminar on “Intellectual Property Rights”

The Federation of Andhra Pradesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FAPCCI) in association with TRICONS is organizing Seminar on “Intellectual Property Rights – Emerging Trends in Business & Industry” on September 28, 2011, at Surana Udyog Auditorium Federation House, FAPCCI, Red Hills Hyderabad.

Intellectual property rights have a large impact on international trade. Those belonging to big brand pharmaceutical companies have stalled countries from providing generic antiretroviral drugs to treat people with HIV/AIDS, due to long negotiations between the pharmaceutical companies and the generic manufacturers.

Intellectual property is divided into two groupings: Industrial property (patents, trademarks, industrial designs and geographic indications of source) and Copyright (literary and artistic works) / Rights related to copyright (performing artists, producers, and broadcasters).

Protecting anyone’s rights is important, and it is equally important not to infringe on the rights of others. While registering a trade mark one should verify that some others are not using the same trade mark.
