Intellectual property plays a critical role in innovation-led growth, competitive positioning, and long-term value creation. However, the effectiveness of IP protection and commercialisation depends significantly on how well organisations understand and apply IP principles in day-to-day decision-making.

IIPRD’s IP Training programmes are designed to bridge this gap: equipping technical, legal, and business teams with practical, decision-relevant IP knowledge aligned with real-world corporate and institutional needs, drawing on decades of practitioner experience across prosecution, enforcement, and commercialisation matters.

In many organisations, IP-related decisions are taken across R&D, product development, branding, legal, and management functions, often without a shared understanding of IP strategy or risk.

Well-designed IP training enables organisations to:

• identify and protect commercially relevant innovations;
• align R&D activity with patent and trademark strategy;
• manage IP portfolios proactively rather than reactively;
• understand commercialisation, licensing, and valuation considerations; and
• reduce downstream legal and commercial risk.

IIPRD’s training focuses on how IP operates in real organisational and commercial contexts, not merely on legal theory

IIPRD is among India’s early IP consulting and education firms to focus on corporate-level IP training as a structured offering.

Over the years, IIPRD has collaborated with several prestigious national and international institutions, including CSIR, HRDC, TIFAC, and the European Patent Office, as well as leading international law firms such as Sughrue Mion, Morgan Lewis, Kangxin IP, Cantor Colburn, Birch Stewart Kolasch & Birch LLP, Becker Kurig, Ladas & Parry, Boehmert & Boehmert, and Hoffmann & Eitle, among others.

Through these collaborations, IIPRD has delivered 60+ international symposiums, workshops, and training programmes, covering both jurisdiction-specific IP practices and cross-border strategic considerations. Many of these programmes involved multi-jurisdictional audiences and international perspectives, reflecting the realities faced by global R&D and legal teams.

Beyond core legal topics relating to patent and trademark prosecution or litigation, IIPRD regularly trains professionals, scientists, in-house legal managers, and business teams on:

• IP commercialisation and technology transfer
• outbound and inbound licensing
• valuation-linked decision-making
• portfolio management and risk assessment

This breadth ensures that training remains commercially grounded rather than academically abstract.

IIPRD adopts a customised, audience-specific training model, recognising that IP awareness and requirements vary significantly across organisations and roles.

Training programmes are designed based on:

• the existing level of IP awareness within the organisation;
• the industry and technology domain;
• the functional roles of participants; and
• the organisation’s strategic objectives.

IIPRD has conducted numerous dedicated in-house programmes for corporates including NTPC, Moser Baer, Indian Oil Corporation, KS Oils, ONGC, Bharat Petroleum, Engineers India Limited, and Tata Chemicals, among many others.

Programmes may be structured for:

• the organisation as a whole; or
• specific teams such as R&D, legal, innovation, or senior management.

Most programmes are led by senior patent attorneys from Khurana & Khurana, who share real-world experience from patent drafting, searching, prosecution, enforcement, litigation, licensing, and commercialisation matters.

Sessions typically range from one to three days, depending on depth, complexity, and target audience. Training content is never delivered as a standard template and is adapted to the organisation’s industry, risk profile, and IP maturity.

IIPRD delivers IP training through multiple formats to suit organisational needs:

• In-House Corporate Training: Customised programmes delivered onsite or virtually, aligned with internal workflows and business objectives.
• Symposiums and Multi-Day Programmes: Structured events covering broader IP themes, often involving multiple speakers and interactive sessions.
• Short Courses and Workshops: Focused modules addressing specific IP topics or functional requirements.
• Awareness Sessions: Introductory sessions designed to build baseline IP understanding across teams.

Depending on the scope, training may include:

• fundamentals of patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs, semiconductor layout-design (topography) rights, plant varieties and biological material-related IP regimes, and other forms of intellectual property relevant to the industry or technology domain;
• patent drafting and prosecution strategy;
• trademark filing, enforcement, and brand protection;
• IP portfolio creation and management;
• IP commercialisation, licensing, and technology transfer;
• valuation fundamentals and commercial risk assessment;
• enforcement and litigation considerations; and
• jurisdiction-specific and industry-specific IP practices.

Content is consistently tailored for practical application rather than theoretical exposition.

IIPRD’s IP training programmes are suitable for:

• corporate R&D and innovation teams;
• in-house legal and compliance professionals;
• scientists, engineers, and technical managers;
• product, strategy, and brand teams;
• public sector organisations and research institutions; and
• students and academicians seeking applied IP knowledge.
