Testimonials
ASSOCHAM considers the optimization of protection and management of IPRs and timeliness to be amongst the priority goals for improvement of the Indian Eco System. The prime objective of the IPTSE is to encourage young people’s interest in intellectual property issues & motivate them for innovative search and development of prospective projects and facilitating their commercialization.
I am delighted to comment on this Intellectual Property Talent Search Examination (IPTSE) which I find very helpful and apt for India’s current business scenario. As Indian companies compete in global business environment- IP is getting more and more attention, not only in large corporations but also amongst SMEs and Start-ups. The exam being offered through this Intellectual Property Talent Search Examination (IPTSE) is in line with Indian government vision and I am sure they would not only be useful for IP professionals to further their skills but also for students who want to be part of the growing IP ecosystem in India.
“Creation and sharing of Intellectual Property is vital for spurring competition and for Socio-Economic Development of the Society”. Respectable IP culture that duly recognizes efforts of innovators is key to sustainable innovation cycle.
“Ericsson having large portfolio of patents has always shared its technology. We believe in collaboration and co-creation of Intellectual property that benefits society”. Ericsson stands committed to enable and support students emerge as skilled IP professionals.
“For an effective and inclusive career development, it is important that young minds are sensitized towards developing innovations that are globally acceptable”. Intellectual Property, being an intangible asset finds no boundaries and helps in inclusive growth”. Teachers are encouraged to learn and disseminate importance of Intellectual Property”
