Who Is The Organiser?

Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual Property Law (RGSoIPL) is the only Law School in the whole IIT system. RGSoIPL was established in the year 2006 with the endeavour to integrate technology and law to build lawyers with expertise to deal with legal issues in the interface of technology and law. We aspire to produce lawyers with interdisciplinary strength. RGSoIPL believes in holistic growth, with research being a core area of focus. The RGSOIPL and its faculty constantly strive to cultivate and nurture the spirit of excellence among the students. The educational curriculum of the School includes a three-year Bachelor’s Degree in Law (LL.B Hons. in IP Law), a two-year Master’s Degree in Law (LL.M) and a Doctoral Programme (Ph.D).

“Yoga Karmashu Kaushalam” is the ingrained letter in the insignia of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, which is the oldest IIT in this country. This literally means, “Excellence in action is Yoga”, which signifies its tenacity towards tradition and modernity. This determination of the institute is evident in its research outputs, placement drives and overall development of its student, teacher, and non-teaching community. “Dedicated to the service of the Nation” is the institute’s motto; imbibing this spirit, the institute has initiated courses in a field other than that of technology, viz; Law, Management, Social Sciences and Medical Sciences. This is pertinent for the wholesome growth of the Nation.

RGSOIPL is organizing a two-day National Colloquium on Legal Research. The colloquium will provide an outstanding forum for legal researchers, who are interested to pursue their carer in academics and research. This colloquium will provide a unique platform for intensive deliberations on various aspects of research and methodology with leading academicians.
