CGPDTM Appreciates Capacity-Building Initiatives at CRISP Conference, BITS Law School

India's innovation journey begins with capacity building, a message that resonated strongly at the CRISP Conference hosted by BITS Law School. The conference brought together policymakers, educators, legal experts, innovators, and entrepreneurs to discuss the evolving role of intellectual property (IP) in fostering sustainable innovation and economic growth.

A key highlight of the event was the recognition and appreciation expressed by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM) for initiatives focused on capacity building. This acknowledgment reinforced empowering individuals and institutions with the knowledge and skills required to convert ideas into protected, scalable, and impactful innovations.

CRISP Conference: A Platform for Knowledge and Collaboration

The CRISP Conference served as a vital platform for dialogue on contemporary IP challenges and opportunities. Discussions ranged from policy frameworks and enforcement mechanisms to the role of education in shaping future-ready innovators. The emphasis throughout was that strong IP awareness and entrepreneurial capability are essential for India's deep-tech and startup ambitions.

Shared Vision for India's Innovation Ecosystem

The appreciation from CGPDTM for capacity building efforts underscores the importance of collaborative action between government bodies, academic institutions, and industry-led learning platforms. When regulators, educators, and innovators move in the same direction, the ecosystem becomes stronger, more inclusive, and more resilient.
