The IQAC in association with the Dept. of Law organized a guest lecture for SY B.Com students on January 28, 2020 from 11.15 a.m. to 12.15 p.m. The session started with a brief introduction of the Resource Person – Ms. Prasanna Timble, Founder and Managing Attorney, LegaWise, handling legal documentation, compliances, and related matters for businesses of all sizes.
Her area of expertise is providing legal solutions in the area of international data protection and privacy law for cloud based products and IT businesses.
She is a published author of a book ‘Land Laws of Goa’.
Ms. Timble shared knowledge on the concepts of Patent, Copyright, Trademark, trade secrets, Geographical Indication and Design with wonderful examples and provided important insights into the concept of Infringement of IPR and also protection of IPR in other countries and how it differs in India.
The objective was to make the students familiar with the concept and importance of intellectual property and rights towards it. It was an interactive session where students asked their queries to the guest. As a result, they became aware of their rights related to their inventions in future and also of the current ongoing fraudulent methods of making business through fake trademarks and designs.
35 students attended the session; they found the topic interesting and enjoyed listening to the guest speaker.
There was a suggestion that it should be conducted for greater number of students, possibly in the form of a seminar.
