Call for Papers by The Centre for Study and Research in Intellectual Property Rights, NLU Ranchi

About the Conference

In a rapidly evolving world, the intersection of Intellectual Property (IP) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a crucial landscape where innovation and creativity converge to pave the way for a shared and sustainable future. IP, encompassing patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, plays a pivotal role in incentivizing and protecting the fruits of human ingenuity. The SDGs, a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all, find a powerful ally in the realm of intellectual property.
