IPR Tools for effective growth of SMEs

On the occasion of World IP Day, FICCI and Department of Commerce and Industrial Promotion, Government of India, organized an IP seminar on April 27, 2009 for Small and Medium Scale Industries (SMEs). I participated in the seminar and presented a session on the topic - "IPR Tools for effective growth of SMEs". The Programme aimed to showcase how SMEs have created and protected their IP for sustained business growth and to provide an opportunity to the SMEs to have an insight so as to empower them with in-depth knowledge.

It was a nice experience presenting in such a good forum. The presentation can be found at FICCI's website. It is my second presentation at the FICCI forum. Last time I presented a session in October 2008 on the topic "Software patents".

I have attached the photographs from the recent event.
