IPR Basics for Innovators and Entrepreneurs

In a major effort to safeguard student and faculty innovations, G H Raisoni University, Saikheda, is set to host a highly informative expert-led session titled "IPR Basics for Innovators & Entrepreneurs." Scheduled for November 20, 2025, at 11:00 AM in the campus Seminar Hall, this foundational masterclass invites budding innovators, research scholars, and early-stage entrepreneurs to learn how to legally secure their creative work. The university is honored to welcome Mr. Kumar Raju, the Assistant Controller of Patents & Designs at the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Intellectual Property Management (RGNIIPM), Nagpur, who will deliver a comprehensive breakdown of the legal frameworks governing modern innovation and share why understanding IPR is vital for securing a long-term business asset. The session will walk attendees through a practical execution pipeline focused on four primary pillars: demystifying IPR categories (Patents, Designs, Trademarks, and Copyrights), navigating the step-by-step official filing roadmap, exploring commercialization strategies like technology transfers, and learning crucial due diligence to avoid patent infringement. The masterclass will conclude with an interactive open-floor Q&A session, giving students and faculty members an exclusive opportunity to consult directly with Mr. Raju regarding their ongoing university research projects and individual patentability criteria. This upcoming event promises to significantly empower the campus ecosystem, providing the essential legal and strategic knowledge required to transition safely from raw concepts to protected, market-ready technologies
