The Maharashtra National Law University (MNLU) Mumbai, in collaboration with the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) – IPR Chair and Centre for Research in Intellectual Property (CRIP), is offering a comprehensive Online Certificate Course focused on the Protection of Trademarks, Copyrights, Designs, Geographical Indications, and Plant Varieties & Farmers’ Rights in India.

Given the dynamic changes within India’s IPR framework, including digital advancements and procedural reforms, it is imperative for students, professionals, academicians, and innovators to acquire both practical and theoretical expertise in intellectual property law.
