As the Department for promotion of industry and Internal trade (DPIIT) launches a website and mobile app for Intellectual property right, I am but reminded of the quote by Victor Hugo
“There is only one thing stronger than all the armies of the world: and that is an idea whose time has come.” I do believe the time has come for India to join the world in the Intellectual property revolution and we Indians must make sure we are not left behind.
Ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the start -up India scheme three years ago the Government of India has encouraged innovation in this country. Now the realisation that the intellectual property needs to be protected with proper legal provisions for the success of the enterprise has necessitated the Government into a spate of actions the latest being the launch of a website and mobile app for IPR.
The L2Pro India IP e-learning platform will have 11 modules for three different levels: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced and can be accessed through their desktop, laptop, mobile browser and mobile application (available on Android & iOS), and will be provided e-certificates by CIPAM-DPIIT and NLU Delhi and Qualcomm
Speaking at the launch, Guruprasad Mohapatra Secretary DPIIT said that it is an important project taken up by the Department as both the website and app will be very useful to the start-up community which holds great promise for India and its economy.
