Diploma in Understanding the Management of Intellectual Property

The idea behind protection of IP is to secure a monopoly or near monopoly position. The method for achieving this depends on the legislative environment and, in respect of certain forms of IP, whether registration is required or not. This, however, is not always the most effective or convenient means of protecting IP if the enterprise wishes to commercialise to its full advantage. The management of innovation better than the competitors is the key to survival in today’s economy. According to the law firm and our policy, the course fees will not be refunded. This unique Diploma in Understanding the Management of Intellectual Property provides an understanding about the legal side as well as the management side of Intellectual Property by means of video lectures by Mr. Rodney D Ryder, Managing Partner, Scriboard– Advocates and Legal Consultants, one of the eminent law firms in the field, in association with Enhelion.

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 enrollee will be evaluated based on two Project Assignments, which would test the analytical understanding of the topics covered in the video lecture. 

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can choose to undergo the evaluation process as and when you are ready for the same.

To be eligible to receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, one is required to secure an overall minimum of 40 percent in the Project Assignments.
