Diploma in Intellectual Property Law with Special Focus on Processes and Applications

Intellectual property is, as the word denotes, a property of the intellect. The creativity and labor of the authors, inventors and creativists is what this property purportedly gives rights to. The law relating to intellectual property regulates the creation, use and exploitation of mental or creative labor. Intellectual Property thus has a special significance for the businesses. The Diploma in Intellectual Property Law and Management with special focus on Processes and Applications, discusses in detail, the procedural aspects of Trademark, Copyright, Industrial Design and Patent protection in India, as well as the issues involving commercialization of Intellectual Property. According to the law firms and our policy, the course fees will not be refunded.

In every walk of life, the process of evaluation takes place in one form or the other. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. Being in the same line, Enhelion is committed to evaluate the process of learning through its courses.

The evaluation will be conducted in a two-fold manner. There will be two MCQ tests which would test the basic understanding on the topics covered in the course. Furthermore, there will be one Project Assignment, which would test the analytical understanding of the same.

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can take the MCQ test and submit the project assignment as per your convenience.
