7th ANNUAL IPR INDIA SUMMIT 2025
In an increasingly globalized and knowledge-driven economy, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) have become indispensable for Indian businesses to remain competitive and innovative. IPR provides a legal framework to protect intangible assets such as inventions, designs, trademarks, and creative works, which are often the backbone of modern businesses. For Indian companies, robust IPR protection is not just about safeguarding ideas but also about creating a foundation for long-term growth, attracting investments, and establishing a strong market presence both domestically and internationally.
The growing importance of intangible assets in the global economy is compelling businesses to prioritize the management of their intellectual property (IP). Effective IP management has become a critical factor in establishing and maintaining competitive advantage, as well as driving superior business performance.
The 7th Annual IPR India Summit 2025 will delve into the aspects of providing meaningful and valuable insights from IP leaders by offering a mix of thought-provoking and practical sessions while covering a wide range of topics along with a unique industry networking platform.
