The Intellectual Property (IP) Awareness & Facilitation Program aims to educate and assist individuals and businesses in understanding and protecting their intellectual property rights.
IP Roadshows
In collaboration with the Science and Technology Department, Government of Odisha, BCKIC Foundation successfully implemented action plans for 2023. Under the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)-FAME (Facilitation, Assistance, and Mentorship for Entrepreneurs) initiative, BCKIC Foundation extended its reach to the East and North East regions.
Throughout the year, BCKIC Foundation organized 15 awareness workshops, 2 training programs, and one Odisha State-level open discussion. These efforts resulted in the filing of over 25 patents, demonstrating a strong commitment to fostering innovation and supporting entrepreneurs.
IP Open Discussion
BCKIC Foundation also organized an Open Discussion with the participation of various law colleges from across the state. The objective was to understand the current IPR paradigm and identify ways to further strengthen the regional ecosystem for facilitating various intellectual property rights.
The session saw active engagement from 75 participants, including the leadership of different institutions, all aiming to enhance and support the IPR framework in the state.
