Vice Chancellor`s Message

It’s a matter of great pleasure and pride for all of us that DPIIT-IPR CHAIR has been established in Chanakya National Law University Patna; by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry (DPIIT), Government of India New Delhi.

In the modern world, intellectual property rights have a significant influence on international and national trade of every nation. Nowadays, every business in the world is based on patents, trademark and industrial design. Research and innovation is the backbone of any economy, especially for a developing nation. With the government enabling policies that push for innovation, India is poised to become a leading science and technology hub.

The present era has realized the importance of IPR laws. It is not only innovation but also the Brand which matters in today’s world. Strong IP laws make a huge contribution to both the overall economy of the country and their respective states. Creation and innovation is the primary objectives of each and every industry in the world. Each and every economy are now promoting their businesses through intellectual assets .It is very important to protect the interest and rights of people who are engaged in innovation/inventions ,directly or indirectly, linked to technological ,economic and commercial development of the country. The Intellectual property Rights are not limited to patents, copyrights trade mark or design as industrial property only. It includes Community property also, such as Geographical Indications, Traditional knowledge and benefits sharing, Biodiversity, Biotechnology, Herbs, medicinal plants, and Farmers Rights and plants varieties.  India, being the member of TRIPS and WTO, has strong legislation accordingly. I hope that IPR Chair will work over legislative matters for the promotion of international trade also. The IPR Chair should work for the empowerment of rural mass and their economic wellbeing. The National IPR Policy 2016, is bench mark for all the initiatives to be taken up, for the chair    In order to achieve objectives, the IPR Chair should work for teaching, training, campaigns, research projects and many more activities in the field of IP ecosystem. The Chair must encourage the study of IPRs in institutions/schools/colleges, which is one of the many objectives required to be achieved under SPRIHA.

I hope, in years to come, the office of the Chair Professor, will take up the opportunities in the state of Bihar to accomplish its desired objectives. I wish all the best to Prof. Dr. Subhash C. Roy, the first DPIIT-IPR Chair Professor in his endeavour.

Registrar`s Message

It’s a matter of great pleasure that DPIIT-IPR CHAIR has been established in Chanakya National Law University Patna, by the Notification of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry (DPIIT), Government of India, New Delhi, in April 2023. 

India is a nation where knowledge is the main driver for holistic development. Innovation always needs investments of mind. India is at a stage where growth and the focus on development have got to be strengthened from every side and intellectual property rights (IPRs) has an important role in it. Intellectual property rights encourage innovation, which in turn results in economic progress. India is one of the world’s most developing economies, must concentrate on increasing market productivity. India has a long history of providing exceptional services to the entire world. Productivity can be boosted up with better technology and processes.

Intellectual property rights (IPRs) has significant potential to boost up India’s economy towards number one. It is a fact, now a days, a nation is called developed and strong only if it has innovative ecosystem and intellectual wealth. In this background, the significance of IPR becomes a concern not just for the government but for all the other educational institutions/department/ organisations/NGOs etc.

Thus, to implement the National IPR policy, 2016 and the mandate of SPRIHA, the DPIIT-IPR Chair at CNLU will work for the development of IPR ecosystem in the state of Bihar for Industrial progress and internal trade. Surely this effort will help in the creation of jobs, which will lead to economic development. The IPR Chair must undertake activities for the propagation of the mantra “Creative India, Innovative India”. I am confident that DPIIT – IPR CHAIR will work from classroom to grass room in the state of Bihar.
