WHAT IS GIIP OFF-CAMPUS LEARNING (OCL PROGRAM)?
In India, GIIP has been the pioneer in IP education and its instructor-led training programs have set new benchmarks in IP education in the country. The programs have also been recognized to be at par with global standards.
Today, in a world which is constantly on the move, a natural extension to the instructor-led training programs is the GIIP Off-Campus Learning (OCL program). The program is meant for those who wish to gain skills in IP and opt for a potential career in this field. It is also for those who want to get an edge over their peers while looking for a more lucrative career or better growth in their own respective field.
The OCL program empowers you to learn at your convenience, from the location of your choice. Making this a reality is GIIP’s online learning system which facilitates constant interaction with trainers and mentors.
The OCL program offers a wide and growing range of general and specialized capsules on all aspects of intellectual property (IP) and its management. The curriculum covers the practices and laws of the US, Europe and India jurisdictions. It provides practical insights supported by illustrations, case studies and exercises that simulate scenarios commonly faced by midsize to large enterprises handling IP issues. It is a self-paced learning environment and allows you to learn at ease without the restrictions of a traditional classroom.
