    CIPS CERTIFICATE COURSE ON TRADEMARK PRACTICE

    The Centre for Intellectual Property Studies [“CIPS”], National Law University, Jodhpur

    [“NLUJ”] is pleased to announce the Certificate Course on Trademark Practice.

    ABOUT CIPS

    CIPS was established in 2018 with the aim to promote research and studies in the field of
    Intellectual Property Rights. The Centre also monitors, designs and disseminates various
    courses and programmes pertaining to training and research in intellectual Property Rights.

    BACKGROUND OF THE COURSE

    In the modern era, brand name and logo have an excellent way to identify your business to
    prospective customers. It assures the customers of the quality and origin of the product that
    they purchase. To ensure that no competing business tries to deceive the customers and utilise
    the goodwill of a particular business, law steps in to provide protection by way of
    Trademarks.

    Trademarks are important assets and help grow their business. Indian Trademark law secures
    trademarks under the Trademark Act, 1999 along with common law remedies. Today, all
    reputable companies and brands have their trademark registered. A Trademark is not just an
    important registration today but a mandatory step to protect the famous brand and logo.

    As a lawyer, one is often required to advice clients on the various facets of trademark
    protection and protect their businesses by undertaking trademark registration. But it is found
    that the intricacies and complexities revolving around trademark filing, drafting, and other
    procedural aspects are not the primary focus of academic courses in law schools. Such
    courses are primarily are designed to focus on the theory which leaves students requiring
    exposure to the practice of law.

    Thus, CIPS is pleased to announce the course which seeks to provide the participants an
    understanding of the practical knowledge. The Course shall be conducted over a duration of
    fourteen hours, in which participants shall be able to acquire invaluable industry insight on
