Intellectual property (IP) encompasses a wide range of intellectual creations, including inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce, all of which are protected by a set of exclusive rights such as copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights, and trade secrets. It is ingrained in our society. The rapid pace of modern science has necessitated the formation of a central strategy to manage the production, protection, and commercialization of intellectual property, which has resulted in new and beneficial innovations. The Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Cell was established at Amrita College of Engineering and Technology, Nagercoil, to support the creation and protection of intellectual property. The IPR cell aims to enhance public awareness of intellectual property activities and identify more IPs. It constantly stimulates, facilitates, and safeguards the scientific research of the Institution's faculty, research scholars, and students.
