REPORT - Mr. Shabeel Ummer addresses students of JSS PS on Intellectual Property Rights

On the 16^Th of March, the grade 12 students had gathered in our school auditorium for an interactive session with Mr. Shabeel Ummer as one of the activities of our project that is in affiliation with the Dubai Customs.

Mr. Shabeel studies law at Vishweswarapura College of Law in Bangalore, Karnataka. He attained his secondary education from ICA English Higher Secondary School in Kerala, India. He has written a book titled “Me and My Loneliness Often Speak”. Mr. Shabeel is a very experienced lawyer.

 He visited our school to explain to the students about copyright and trademarks.

It was very helpful to the students, because they were to be taught the importance of IPR and how IPR is present in our everyday lives.

He explained in what ways copyrights and trademarks are being violated without any deliberation in the field of cultural arts and how this can be stopped and avoided.  

This event was extremely informative to the students of grade 12 as they had little or no prior knowledge in the respective topic and also this information is very essential to the youth.
