The NMIMS Bengaluru Intellectual Property Cell hosted a comprehensive two-day “Intellectual Property Awareness & Skills Bootcamp” designed to bridge the gap between theoretical legal frameworks and practical industry application. Held in the college auditorium, the event offered a rigorous academic experience across two distinct sessions. Day 1 featured a deep dive into the conceptual underpinnings and historical evolution of Intellectual Property Rights, guided by the expertise of Ms. Deepali Nayak (IP Consultant). Her session provided students with critical insights into the foundational elements of IP law. 

Day 2 elevated the discourse with a dynamic panel discussion featuring distinguished industry experts who explored the transactional realities of the legal profession. The panel included:

• Mr. Karmanya Dev Sharma, Senior Associate at SIM & SAN - Attorneys at Law

• Ms. Shreya Chaddha, Senior Associate, Intellectual Property at Fox Mandal & Associates LLP

• Ms. Shilpa Chaudhury, Principal Associate, Intellectual Property at Saga Legal

These sessions moved beyond textbook learning to provide insights into the real-world management of IP portfolios. To ensure a rigorous academic standard, the bootcamp concluded with a structured MCQ assessment to validate the participants' understanding of key concepts like Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights. Participants benefited from exclusive networking opportunities with these legal professionals and received comprehensive session materials. Upon successful completion and adherence to the professional code of conduct, attendees were awarded E-Certificates of Merit and Participation, formally recognising their expertise and commitment to the field of Intellectual Property Law.
