About IP Fiesta

Keeping the theme of this year’s Intellectual Property Day, the Centre for Intellectual Property Rights (CIPR), UPES is organizing ‘IP Fiesta- Celebrating Innovation and Technology’- an event which aims at taking all the participants on a journey of understanding the world of intellectual property, and showcasing their Intellectual Property related knowledge and talent.

CIPR has curated two unique and non-conventional events to give students who are enthusiastic about Intellectual Property Rights, an opportunity to make use of this platform and present their ideas and talents.

The event will focus on bringing out new ideas in students, encouraging them to speak up, propose changes and stand out. 

As a part of the celebration, they are organizing two competitions namely  ‘The Pitch Bowl’ and National IPR Olympiad.

About The Pitch Bowl

The Pitch Bowl is an initiative to encourage the start-up culture in the country and to give students an opportunity to present their new and creative ideas (or pitch), and stand a chance to be recognized. The same runs in consonance with the WIPO World IP day theme for the year 2022 which is ‘IP and Youth Innovating for a Better Future’.

This competition will not only help students get a platform to present their ideas related to any product or service which is novel and has potential to aid the society, but will also encourage them to get more creative and think of solutions to persisting issues in the world.
