Dear All,
Greetings from BMS Knowledge Centre.
Bangalore Management Academy (BMA), Bangalore, is organizing a ONE DAY
WORKSHOP ON Intellectual Property Rights for the 21st Century Librarian on
24th October 2009.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Intellectual Property Rights have become crucial for knowledge economy
workers with laws getting stricter on unauthorized use of published
material and stringent on piracy in software. In India, patent laws and
copyright laws have been amended to make them compatible to the TRIPS
agreement under the WTO. What are the new issues in copyright and patents
that today's knowledge managers must be aware of? How do these laws
protect intellectual development and catalyze the knowledge economy? What
do librarians, students, writes and producers of knowledge need to watch
out for when using other's published material or when using software
packages and databases? This workshop will discuss critical concerns
relating to IPRs through lectures and discussions by leading academics and
lawyers working in this area.
Faculty:
Amir Ullah Khan's PhD work is on IPR issues in the software sector.
Ramakrishna Srinivasan and Suresh Kumar are leading corporate lawyers with
a special interest in IPR issues. Yamini Narayanan has taught referencing
and sourcing in various countries.
The last date for registration for this workshop will be October 21, 2009
Registration Fee: Rs. 500.00
