IIT Kharagpur has signed a technical collaboration agreement with US-based George Washington University (GWU) for cooperation in the field of comprehensive formal education in intellectual property laws in India. GWU will help the Indian institute in formulating curriculum and training of faculty for its planned Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual Property Law (RGSOIPL).
After signing the agreement on the sidelines of the CII-organised IPR Summit 2006, Prof Frederick Lawrence, dean, George Washington University Law School said, Our India Project is to expand contacts in the IP law and IP regime areas from individuals to academicians, judges, lawyers and companies. We will be training people in this space on all levels. The agreement with IIT Kharagpur is part of it. We will also take up an advisory role at the National Judicial Academy in Bhopal.
IIT Kharagpurs RGSOIPL will commence its three-year Bachelor of Law in Technology and Intellectual Property Law and a 18-month part time PG diploma in Intellectual Property Law courses in July. It is recognised by the Bar Council of India and people who do the three-year course can practice in court, Prof Probir K Gupta, dean, Vinod Gupta School of Management, IIT Kharagpur said.
According to Prof Kalyan Chakravarti, project leader of the task force for setting up of the law school, the centre will start with 30-50 students for both courses. There is a lot of demand for people trained in IP law. Our five-year plan is to hike the intake to 500 and by eight years reach 800 students. We will then move the school to Kolkata from Kharagpur, he added.
The eligibility for both the courses is a degree in engineering/technology or PG degree in any branch of science or MBA. The institute proposes to introduce five and six year integrated dual degree programmes of Engineering/Technology and IP Law, MBA and IP Law, Master of IP Law and Doctoral (Ph D) degree in IP Law apart from various short term courses later.
