Speaking at a seminar on `Challenges in Implementing Intellectual Property Rights’, organised by Karnataka Judicial Academy and Bangalore Mediation Centre here on Monday, he said that such a platform would help in speedy disposal of the cases.
Terming IPR regime as a `perishable commodity’, Mr Nilekani said, critical requirement for an IPR regime is speedy remedy. Otherwise, the value is lost, as the technology in the knowledge intensive field changes very fast.’’ The international business partnerships are built on the basis of the country’s ability to protect the IPR, he noted.
In a view to assist the judiciary in changing technology, professionals from engineering and other fields should take up the legal profession, he added. Justice Cyriac Joseph said that the Karnataka Judicial Academy had already conducted training for judicial officers in handling IPR related cases. Besides, 15 of them, including one High Court judge were given advanced training in the same field. ``I have directed to post all the IPR related cases before these judges,’’ he added.
