Dr. V. Anbarasu, the invited guest speaker, began his session on the topic “Physics and Intellectual Property Rights“. He highlighted that physics is fundamental to understanding the natural world and plays a crucial role in the development of new technologies. He explained that Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are legal rights granted to individuals or organizations to protect the creations of their minds. These rights ensure that inventors and creators can control the use of their works and prevent unauthorized usage or reproduction. Within the context of physics, IPR encompasses patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. Dr. Anbarasu elaborated on how these rights apply to physics-based innovations, providing detailed explanations and examples.
