Course objective: To impart a basic understanding on the subject of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) specifically as applied to the
area of creative arts, fashion design and textile industry. The idea is to give an overall exposure to the students so that they not only

business. Sufficient inputs have been added in the curriculum to show students how IP is and can be used for commercial benefits.

Course structure:

Concept domain -The idea of the course is to elucidate the use of IP in the areas of design and technology. It is important to explain
to students how in today’s world IP is crucial for knowledge economies to survive. How knowledge has itself become a product that
can be traded in the form of IP.

Knowledge domain - Knowledge of various streams of IPRs like patents, trademarks, designs, copyright etc. and how to protect
these.

Skill domain - To be able to recognize which is the IP that is worth protecting and then proceed accordingly.
