The session provided budding entrepreneurs and early-stage founders with clarity on:

🔸 Understanding patents, trademarks, and design registrations

🔸 The role of IPR in boosting startup valuation and securing competitive advantages

🔸 Common mistakes innovators make while filing patents

The interaction between aspiring founders and the expert made the event deeply insightful, helping many understand the strategic value of protecting their intellectual assets early in their entrepreneurial journey.
