Hear from our PGD IPR & Constitution graduates on how the programme opened doors in IP law and management.
The PGD IPR programme at ISBR gave me both legal depth and management breadth that I couldn't find anywhere else. The combination of IP law, strategic management, and technology subjects made me a versatile professional. I now lead the IP team at a leading pharmaceutical company in Bengaluru.
What impressed me most was how ISBR integrates management thinking with IP specialisation. The faculty bring real-world experience from IP firms and corporations. The programme transformed my understanding of how intellectual property drives business strategy and competitive advantage.
As a science graduate, I was unsure about entering the world of law. ISBR's PGD IPR programme eased that transition perfectly — the management subjects gave me confidence while the IPR specialisation gave me expertise. Today I work as a Patent Analyst at a technology company and love what I do.
I transitioned into intellectual property law from a pharmaceutical sciences background, and ISBR's PGD-IPR was the bridge I needed. The patent drafting workshops and modules on TRIPS compliance were exceptionally designed. I am now working as a patent analyst at a leading pharma company in Hyderabad — a role I could not have secured without this qualification.
Trademark management was something I always felt underqualified for in my FMCG career. After completing the PGD-IPR at ISBR, I returned to my company with an entirely new skill set. I now independently handle all trademark filings and disputes for our brand portfolio across India — a responsibility I could not have taken on without this programme.
I work in the music and entertainment industry, where copyright protection is critically important yet widely misunderstood. The PGD-IPR programme gave me a rigorous, practical grounding in copyright law, licensing, and enforcement. It has changed how I advise artists and labels on protecting their creative work — and elevated my standing in the industry significantly.
Our faculty combine deep expertise in IP law with practical industry exposure to deliver a truly applied learning experience.
"Intellectual property is the currency of the knowledge economy. This programme equips students not just to understand IP law, but to use it as a strategic asset for businesses, creators, and innovators."
"IP law sits at the intersection of creativity, commerce, and the constitution. We teach students to navigate all three dimensions simultaneously — that is what makes our graduates so valuable to employers."
"Technology is transforming intellectual property at a pace never seen before. We ensure our students understand AI, blockchain, and digital copyright not as future possibilities — but as today's practical realities."
