About the GNLU Centre for IPR (GCIPR)
Recognizing the immense potential of Intellectual Property Rights to guide the domestic innovative and creative industries towards growth on the global platform, GNLU established the Centre for Intellectual Property Rights in January 2016. The Centre was established with a three-fold objective, i.e., to encourage academic discourse on IPR and allied subjects; to develop research plans for exclusive on-field studies and to create better awareness among stakeholders by designing and conducting programs. GNLU’s continued endeavours of promoting IPR were recognized by the software giant Microsoft India resulting in the establishment of the GNLU-Microsoft IPR Chair in 2013.
Further, in the year 2015, the University was endowed with a generous funding from the Gujarat Government’s Council on Science and Technology (GUJCOST) under the Department of Science and Technology (DST) under the titled GUJCOST-GNLU Centre of Excellence in IPR, in order to promote research, training and educational activities in areas such as Patent law, Traditional Knowledge and Law of Geographical Indications. The Centre added another feather to its cap when it was endowed funding under DPIIT Scheme for Pedagogy and Research in IPRs for Holistic Education and Academia (SPRIHA) with an establishment of another IPR Chair in 2018. Despite the unprecedented challenges of Covid, the Centre continued its operations and in 2021 introduced a PG Diploma in IPR which is currently in its third successful year. The Centre takes absolute pride in sharing that since 2017, eight awards in individual and collective capacity have been received which is a testimonial of its contribution in the field of IPR.
