Diploma in Intellectual Property with Special Focus on Design Law

Intellectual property is a property of the intellect. The subject matter of intellectual property laws is very diversified, stretching from the design of a simple utilitarian object like a paperclip to as complex as a space shuttle design produced by a commercial firm. It also pervades all genres of life, be it food, health or commerce subject to restrictions in the light of the utilitarian and greater good principle. Design,as an intellectual property,plays an essential role in increasing the marketability of a product and its consumer base.
