The keynote speaker on the second day of the workshop was Abhilasha Nautiyal, Attorney at Ira law, who stated that different types of inventions fall under the category of patents based on their originality. In her lecture, she elaborated on the laws under which any inventor has the right to pre- serve their original invention. She told the audi- ence that any invention or product is patented so that no one can use that method or process with- out permission, because it takes a lot of time, money and hard work for a person to make an invention.
