National IP Seminar on "IPR and Innovation: A Way Forward for SME's" on the occasion of World IP Day April 27, 2009, New Delhi Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry in association with Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) is organizing a National IP Seminar on "IPR and Innovation: A Way Forward for SME's" on Monday, 27th April, 2009. SMEs are the engines of growth and are responsible for most jobs, products, tax revenues, welfare and healthy contribution to Indian exports and development. A healthy SME sector is, therefore, crucial for the economy and socially sustainable development of the country. It is a unanimous beleif that SME-innovation describes new ways and concepts for the successful innovation in the 21st century. It is now established that new business can be generated without taking high risks. In this backdrop, FICCI in association with DIPP is organizing a one day interactive debate on "IPR and Innovation: A Way Forward for SME's". The aim of the seminar is to showcase how SMEs have created and protected their IP for sustained business growth. The seminar also aims to provide an opportunity to the SMEs to have an insight so as to empower them with an in-depth knowledge. Also, we bring through this seminar such entrepreneurs who were able to sustain themselves in the market and have set examples for others. Panel discussions will also be held to to debate on whether India should have a 2nd Tier protection to accord protection to the useful inventions having less inventive threshold.
