National
Workshop On Intellectual Property Rights in Semiconductor Chips
Intellectual Property (IP)
has become a key driver for R&D in Science and Technology, that dominate the
knowledge society of 21st century. Seamless commerce and Globalization
concepts have brought the Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) to
the fore giving a major focus to IP as a strategic asset. IP Rights (IPR)
has thus become a currency of power widely sought to protect inventions and new
ideas. Recognizing the central role IPs play in the modern technology
products and services, countries around globe have drawn legal frameworks for
enabling registration of the IPRs. The two-day workshop was held during
July 12 - 14, 2006 in association with IEEE India, EDS Chapter and MHRD.
This workshop was
specifically on the IP protection regimes in Semiconductor Chips and Products.

international IPR regimes, Indian legislation on
chip protection and its features, techno-legal
issues in Chip protection, industrial
Experiences in Chip acts in select countries, legal
issues in filing IPR applications, Indian IC Design
experiences in
R&D and industry,
Korean experiences in IC Design education etc.
The Workshop was inaugurated by Dr. K..S. Chari,
Senior Director and Registrar Semiconductor
