The initiative is aligned with the Government of India’s ongoing efforts to promote awareness and adoption of intellectual property laws, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs, and geographical indications.
The Yatra focuses on encouraging creativity, safeguarding innovation, and empowering MSMEs by integrating advanced technologies and structured IP frameworks.
IP Awareness and MSME Empowerment at the Core
As part of the National Intellectual Property Yatra, MSMEs across sectors will be supported in registering and protecting their intellectual property.
The initiative connects MSMEs with Intellectual Property Facilitation Centres (IPFCs) across the country, offering end-to-end guidance on IP creation, protection, and commercialisation.
Innovators and entrepreneurs will also gain access to mentorship, funding guidance, and platforms to showcase their creative and technological solutions. Notably, AIC Pinnacle functions as an authorised IP Facilitation Centre, providing free IP-related services.
