COURSE OVERVIEW

This course deals with the research methods and Intellectual property rights (IPR) that refer to the legal rights
given to the inventor or creator to protect his invention or creation for a certain period of time. These legal rights
confer and exclusive right to the inventor/creator or his assignee to fully utilize his invention/creation for a
given period of time. In this course, the students will be able to learn to write research paper following all the
ethics, to do research using different methods. Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to write
the research paper using proper format and students will contribute their knowledge in the field of research to
serve the society with innovative and creative ideas.

COURSE OBJECTIVE
• Identify and formulate research problem in their interesting domain.
• To explain the functions of the literature review in research and research ethics.
• To demonstrate carrying out a literature search, its review, developing theoretical and conceptual
frameworks and writing a review.
• To explain how IPR would take such important place in growth of individuals & nation, to summaries
the need of information about Intellectual Property Right to be promoted among student community in
general & engineering in particular.
• To Relate that IPR protection provides an incentive to inventors for further research work and
investment in R & D, which leads to creation of new and better products, and in turn brings about
economic growth and social benefits
