Abstract


Digitalized and informative era invites new avenues to explore and invent. Invention so far is undermined as original creator is not equally rewarded and awarded IPR turned as rolling coin for all originators and gained revolutionary acceptance in all areas and industries: pharmaceutical to steel, printing to software, energy to mining, electrical to hospitality, music, art, literature and films to arm industry. Copyright, Patent, Trademark, License are the buzzwords but unexplored by academicians and learning resources. Today, teacher as a mentor/facilitator are more engrossed in creating original study material, interesting and attractive to bring more participants in the classes. IPR is the shield encompassing a wide variety of rights pertaining and protecting the ownership of creative work. Exploratory research was conducted to analyze the major perceived challenges of IPR, impact of demographic profile on IPR, usage of social networking sites as teaching and learning process.
