Intellectual Property and India:
Protecting Knowledge and Promoting Innovation
A workshop for journalists
30 March 2002, India Habitat Centre
|
Who should market Gandhi's name? How do societies
benefit from patents? Does IPR encourage innovation? Does patent
protection restrict access and increase prices? Should we have patents
on genes? Who should receive economic benefits from traditional
knowledge? What is the Indian public's perception of intellectual
property?
|
Liberty Institute and International Policy Network invite
you to examine these and other questions by participating in a workshop
aimed at initiating a dialogue between policy experts and media persons,
and contributing to an informed public discussion on this important issue.
