She described different types of IPRs, trademarks, copyrights, designs, patents and trade secrets. She exhorted young researchers to apply for the patent registration of their research innovations before publishing it in any research journal.

It is important to use the right language and full disclosure of information while filing a patent and other IPRs.”
