The Department of English and Cultural Studies invites students to a session titled “Ideas, Innovation, and Ownership: Navigating IPR in Digital Humanities” introducing the significance of Intellectual Property Rights in the creative and cultural industries. The session will examine how original ideas, artistic works, research, and cultural innovations are protected through patents and copyrights, and why such protection matters in today’s knowledge economy. The resource person, Dr. Purnendu B. Acharjee, will share insights into the legal, academic, and practical dimensions of intellectual property, offering students a valuable introduction to safeguarding creativity and innovation in today’s digital, knowledge-driven world.
