REPORT - Talk at Talk-Masters

On 7^TH April, 2017 the IPR team visited the Talk-Masters session to spread awareness about Intellectual Property Rights in the community.
Talk-Masters is a club formed by Keralite professionals working in UAE. The members of Talk-Masters get together on every alternate Fridays to hone their public speaking skills. People of all ages are encouraged to join the group and contribute to the learning at Talk-Masters.

At Talk-Masters, the IPR team was greeted with an energetic and enthusiastic crowd who were eager to learn about Intellectual Property.

The session took off with a welcome speech by the host, who greeted the team and introduced them to the crowd. The members then told the student about Talk-Masters and their aim to enhance their public speaking and communication skills.

  The IPR team then introduced the crowd to Intellectual Property Rights and told them about different ways of protecting intellectual property i.e. trademarks, patents and copyrights.  They talked about how IP Laws are commonly infringed and how we can address the problems of IPR. The crowd was intrigued and put across their queries about how they encounter such problems relating to violation of IP commonly.

Then we had a discussion about the various problems we face in everyday lives relating to IP. At the end of the session the organizers of Talk-Masters thanked the JSSPS IPR team and asked us to briefly talk about what we had learnt from the opportunity they had given us and what we plan to do for the society. Talk-Masters was indeed a great platform and had a fairly big audience too, great way to raise awareness on Intellectual Property and Cultural Arts.
