Preface Studies have shown that there is a perfect link between strong IPR regime protected by rule of law and economic development of a country. India is still at nascent stage when compared with the IPR regimes of developed economies. Hence, governmental and intergovernmental initiatives in association with commerce and industrial bodies are being taken up for creating awareness on IPR. Even though the researchers of software, pharmaceutical and biomedical fields are leading the pack of most number of patent applications, requirement of such awareness in other fields is felt necessary. Based on this necessity, Dr.Mu.Ramkumar conceived an idea to conduct a workshop for geoscientists in particular, researchers in general. Response to this clarion call has been overwhelming from all quarters namely, co-shouldering the conductance of workshop by Dr.A.Jayakumar, administrative and other supports from the University authorities, financial grants from CSIR, TNSCST, KMB Granites and Periyar University, lending physical and mental labour by faculty members and research scholars of the Departments of Geology and Commerce, etc. The conductance of workshop on IPR for geoscientists in Periyar University, Salem, is apt in atleast two major counts. First, the Salem district, wherein the Periyar University is located is considered to be the mineral belt of Tamil Nadu State. The second is, as the motto of Periyar University is Knowledge Maketh the World, and thus it is apt that the Periyar University conducted the workshop on IPR for geoscientists.
