Lecture videos from this substantive course on Intellectual Property. The course shall give a brief overview of the IP landscape in India. It shall also dwell into the role of IP in the modern intangible economy.

Explore Kazhdan's Property T and its higher-degree generalizations in this mathematical lecture that examines fundamental analytic invariants of discrete and locally compact groups. Learn how Property T is defined through unitary representations and discover the Delorme-Guichardet characterization using group cohomology vanishing in degree 1 for arbitrary unitary coefficients. Delve into Garland's pioneering higher property T results from the 1970s before examining the Lie group case and their lattices through recent collaborative research. Understand the theoretical foundations that suggest natural extensions to higher-degree Property T and explore practical applications of both classical and higher property T in modern mathematical research.

Fires impact people, property and the environment in all countries around the world. In some cases, the resulting losses are extraordinary, causing hundreds of deaths, widespread damage to property and contents and significant impacts on the environment. More often, fires may cause a single casualty or affect a single home, though the effects are still highly significant to those affected and collectively are substantial. This course will provide an overview of the challenges posed by fire as well as the fire safety solutions that are available to meet those challenges.

Intellectual property is the currency of the tech world. The pharmaceutical patent for Lipitor generated over $100 billion in revenue, the copyright for the Harry Potter franchise has generated over $25 billion to date, and the trademarked brands of the world’s largest tech companies now eclipse $100 billion in value. But what makes these intangible assets so valuable? Through the courses in this specialization, you will learn the differences between the various forms of U.S. intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, and trademarks, and their various applications to human innovations. Drawing from that knowledge, you will then work to develop a trademark strategy for a company, analyze a patent document, and address a copyright cease-and-desist request. After completing these hands-on projects, you will have the necessary framework to craft integrated intellectual property strategies tailored to an organization’s core business goals.

Course outline: Intellectual property (IP) helps universities to improve their ranking, establish an innovation ecosystem, incubate knowledge-based start-ups, earn additional revenue and measure research activity. Managing intellectual property at Universities can be critical as regulatory authorities push for establishing innovation ecosystems and IP centres. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked all universities to set up IP centers. The National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF) ranks institutions based on the number of patents applied for, granted and commercialized. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) awards points to institutes with an innovation ecosystem and a facility for identifying and promoting IP. Both the UGC and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) recommend changes to the curriculum with a focus on IPR education in technical institutes.

Discover the basics of intellectual property rights, and how you can best safeguard your ideas and avoid infringement.

In today’s globally competitive economy, role of intellectual property is inevitable in every profession ranging from Teachers, doctors, engineers, policy-makers, managers, technicians, and among others. In today's environment, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) have a tremendous impact on both international and domestic trade. Intellectual property is a very important tool for economic development and wealth creation. Building IPR protection systems through laws is important in every regime by establishing exclusive rights to use and sell newly discovered technology, goods, and services, to encourage investments in knowledge, development and innovation. Intellectual property rights, which include Copyright, Patents, Trademarks, Designs, Semi-Conductor Integrated Circuit Layout-Designs, Trade secrets, New Plant Varieties, Geographical Indications, and other new and emerging forms, are the result of intellectual property. The value of intellectual property has surpassed the value of physical assets in recent years. A lack of IPR understanding and inadequate execution may hamper the nation’s economic, technological, and sociological progress. This module on IPR provides a quick overview of various forms of IPR, their need, significance, works protected, registration procedure and related aspects.

Creating Advantage Advantage What you'll learn: Identify the types of Intellectual Property available to the Firm such as patents, trade secrets, know-how, copy rights, trade marks etc and when and how to use them effectively.Use the various types of agreements for protecting the Firm’s Intellectual Property such as Confidentiality Agreements (CDAs), Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), joint development agreements (JDAs), etcUse patents as the cornerstone of the Intellectual Property strategyUse proven Intellectual Property management processes and the roles played by various parts of the Firm (e.g., sales, marketing, R&D, manufacturing etc.)Identify the tactics for beating the competition using the Firm’s Intellectual Property strategies with mini-case study examples.Understand the value of “Intellectual Property Masters” externally sourced or found within the Firm. Intellectual Property (IP) Strategy: Creating Competitive Advantage, is a 3.5-hour course that educates Founders/Entrepreneurs on a proven, practical framework for identifying and protecting Intellectual Property While IP is critically important to Innovators and Founders working to transform into Entrepreneurs it is often not high on the Founder/Innovator agenda and can be lost in the chaos of other activities. Founders/Innovators are struggling with multiple tasks from securing customers, managing demanding lead users, generating revenue and eventually profit, satisfying investors while raising new funds, recruiting, hiring and retaining key employees, and so forth. The one critical success factor often de-emphasized in this chaotic mix is IP. Key benefits include: 1. Significant increase in valuation of business by protecting IP and creating exit opportunities. 2. Decrease in the risk to Entrepreneur/Investor investment. Once you have completed this course you can have an informed discussion with your team and IP professionals (lawyers, tech transfer office). VentureForge will shortly be releasing a follow-on course called "The Intellectual Property Toolkit" that outlines a framework to use in creation of a practical IP strategy.

For aspiring and active entrepreneurs, this course focuses on the opportunities and challenges of intellectual property. Intellectual property is a commonly discussed, often misunderstand, element of entrepreneurship and law. Knowing how to create and manage patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets is a valuable skill for entrepreneurs and business leaders. Regardless of size and industry, a business’s intellectual property is often more valuable than its physical assets. Companies invest tremendous resources in developing innovative new products and services. Intellectual property law discourages competitors from immediately profiting from another’s invention, and provides incentives for continued innovation.

This specialization explores the critical legal and business issues entrepreneurs face as they build and launch a new venture. Learners examine real-world scenarios and address legal and business issues from ideation to all of the important junctures along the path to success. Significant attention is placed on new venture formation, intellectual property management, and contracts and financing arrangements.
