The intellectual property right (IPR) law defines intellectual creations
entitled to protection, how to obtain (or lose) IPR, how to use and benefit
from IPR, and how to enforce IPR and obtain compensation for infringements.
All of these aspects are important to understand well to avoid
infringing other people’s IPR.
Very recently, an important seminar of Royal Society of Chemistry
Law Group, named “Introduction to Intellectual Property for Researchers”
was presented on May 2016 in London. This document provided an introduction
to IPR for researchers in chemistry. The document was ideal for
any researcher with a primary or no knowledge of patent and other IPRs.
This type of seminar is extremely important for the comprehension of this
area in which all are interested, namely, university, industry, and any civil
member of our community.
