Industrial visit to Kanchipuram silk park

Department of IPR, Saveetha School of Law organised an industrial visit to Kanchipuram silk park on 28th April 2022 to learn the real life situation of the actual producers of the protected GI, Kanchipuram Sarees. The team comprised of 60 students and 4 faculty members. Students interacted with the weavers of the different units situated in the Silk Park. It was found that the weavers in the Silk Park served as the employees of the majour textile houses of South India, quite different from the authorised users of an IP. The industrial field visit offered a different experience to the students.
