An Expert talk on the occasion of World Intellectual Property Day 2026

AIC-IPR Plasmatech Innovation Foundation (Plasmatech), in association with the Institute Innovation Council (IIC) & Rajbhasha Karyanvayan Samiti (राजभाषा कार्ाान्वर्न समिमि) of Institute for Plasma Research (IPR), organized an insightful talk titled “Building an IP Moat Around Your Innovation: How to Navigate the IP Landscape” as part of the celebrations for World Intellectual Property Day. Observed annually on April 26, and established by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2000, the occasion aims to raise awareness about the role of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and industrial designs in fostering innovation and impacting everyday life. The expert session was conducted by Mr. Avi Garg, Partner at LEXORBIS, who brings nearly two decades of expertise in Intellectual Property Rights. During the session, Mr. Garg delivered an engaging lecture on IP landscaping and the strategic aspects of IP litigation, highlighting important “Dos and Don’ts” for innovators, researchers, and entrepreneurs. The event witnessed active participation from technical staff of IPR as well as emerging startup founders. The talk emphasized the growing importance of intellectual property protection in the deeptech ecosystem, where research and development efforts are highly intensive and innovation cycles are long. A well-defined IP strategy not only safeguards proprietary technologies but also creates strong entry barriers for competitors, enables market exclusivity, and enhances enterprise valuation. More importantly, a robust IP portfolio strengthens investor confidence and plays a crucial role in transforming scientific innovations into scalable and commercially successful ventures
