The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, GOI along with the Chair on IPR and CIPRA, NLSIU is organising a Round Table on ‘Intellectual Property as a Security Asset for Credit: Issues and Prospects’ on October 28, 2020 from 5 pm.
Concept Note:
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has estimated that intellectual property will account for six trillion dollars in global trade by 2020. Any modern enterprise, from manufacturing to the service sector, holds significant IP assets in various forms from business software to license rights. IP assets are of significance to a knowledge-based firms like software and biotechnology. Such firms play an important role in today’s Indian economy. Many of Such firms may have only or substantially IP assets as their major asset. IP assets are growing in importance to other firms also. Possibility of using IP assets as security/collateral can open new avenues for firms to raise funds. This may have impact upon survival of many firms, especially during a pandemic period where the firms are funds starved.
It is well accepted that access to credit is crucial for economic growth. World Bank has found that Insufficient Collateral is among the top reasons for difficulty in accessing credit finance in the developing world. A common trend among the firms is that credit applications are rejected mostly due to insufficient collateral, i.e. unacceptable or unsuitable collateral. Secured credit is an efficient form of lending/borrowing. IP asset security-based credit which, when implemented in a proper legal and institutional framework, can thus stimulate economic activity.
The Roundtable:
IP has unique features. The roundtable would examine the present system of security creation and enforcement, to see whether the system is adequate to facilitate IP security-based financing in India. The focus of the roundtable is to examine the challenges and prospects for IP asset security-based financing. Experts from Academia and industry would address diverse dimensions.

The Advanced Centre on Research, Development and Training in Cyber Laws & Forensics, NLSIU, is organising a special webinar on Cyber Threat Intelligence as part of Cyber Security Awareness Month.
Speaker: Mr Deepak Kumar,
Digital Threat Intelligence & Digital Forensic Consultant
Secularism in India has been a terrain of intense contestation in the last few years and is perhaps an idea in need for further and newer conceptualisations. Critiquing earlier formulations of democracy and secularism, Prof. Ajay Gudavarathy spoke about his new edited volume Sectarian Secularism: Limits of Subaltern Politics. The book argues that secular politics in India has not been able to challenge sectarianism in India because it lacks a political imagination that resonates on the ground. His talk therefore, provoked the audience to think about challenging the rise of the Right, not through current articulations of secularism, minority-ism and Left politics but instead to reinvent the language and practice of an alternate politics of fraternity.
Prof. Ajay Gudavarthy, is Associate Professor, Centre for Political Studies, at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Before joining JNU, he held teaching positions in NLSIU, NUJS and ISEC. He writes extensively on Indian politics, Political Theory, Contemporary Political Movements, Postcolonial Theory, and Civil Society. His books include Politics of Post Civil-Society (2013), Maoism, Democracy and Globalisation (2014) and his latest and much acclaimed book, India and Modi: Populism and the Right (2018).

Why AI ethics?
The Policy Exchange said: “The question arises from findings by public policy and ethics researchers who claim that AI ethics principles & guidelines, proposed by various public bodies and private groups in their current form, likely have a negligible effect on the safe development, deployment, and use of artificially intelligent technologies.”

The Covid 19 pandemic and the responses to it, including movement restrictions and suspension of ‘non-essential’ economic activities have proved devastating for India’s vulnerable, impoverished population. The worst hit in this pandemic, are small producers, vendors, daily wage labourers and small farmers. Movement restrictions have resulted in loss of business for vendors and small producers, small and marginal farmers are unable to market their produce, leading to severe forms of food insecurity and widespread hunger. It is to be noted that big companies and aggregators involved in supply of essential commodities are allowed to operate and the absence of such formal structures have kept poor people deprived of such opportunities. Special benefits announced by central and state governments are yet to reach them and in the meanwhile the poor communities especially those in remote and rural areas are facing a humanitarian crisis. Studies have shown that most such people have been subjected to multiple deprivations owing to not only their economic but social status as well.
Caste and religion have always played a major role in determining and realising the right to food. Historical deprivations and discrimination are multiplied in the wake of crisis and shortage of food supply. For socially marginalised groups, dependence on welfare schemes increases multifold because of the lack of livelihood opportunities. However, with COVID 19 pandemic even the entitlements are not getting realised leaving these marginalized groups reeling under severe hunger. At the Central and State level, support measures and welfare packages have been announced for the impoverished population to survive the pandemic, however, immediate implementation of such provisions remains a challenge. Closure of service delivery centres such as Anganwadi centres, Schools and Fair Price Shops or the challenges in reaching those centres, have endangered not only household level food security but have also resulted in blatant violation of right to food for children, children from marginalised social groups being most affected.
It is in this context that National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore is organising a Webinar on April 14th 2020, Ambedkar Jayanti, with a view to highlight the violation of right to food for marginalised social groups.
Specific objectives of the Webinar are:
To analyse the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on socially vulnerable populations with a focus on historically disadvantaged communities, women and children from low-income households, especially small farmers, vendors, casual/migrant workers in terms of their right to food and nutrition.
To understand the specific challenges on the ground and brainstorm on the immediate and strategic interventions to be made to support these communities realise their right to food.
To explore strategies to improve or supplement access to food and social security measures, through engagement with the community, civil society and the state.
Target Audience
Civil Society Organizations
Community Leaders and Workers’ representatives
Students and Academics
