The word intellectual property itself is a fraud. There is no such word.
Kerala government should not fell into this trick.

Summary: Now, the IPR experts and scientists have submitted a representation to the new Kerala government to include IPR in the educational curriculum from the school level and to set up an IPR Academy. Thiruvananthapuram: Since the last seven years, a proposal to set up an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Academy in Kerala remains only on paper. IP literacy is still very low even after two decades since we signed the Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) at World Trade Organisation. “The proposal to include it in educational curriculum and to set up an IPR Academy will be taken forward by the new government and a clear picture on its modalities will emerge soon,” he said. IPR is already an optional subject for Law students in Kerala. [Thats correct, if people does not feel that they are not slave then how can enslave thme.]
Thiruvananthapuram: Since the last seven years, a proposal to set up an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Academy in Kerala remains only on paper. Now, the IPR experts and scientists have submitted a representation to the new Kerala government to include IPR in the educational curriculum from the school level and to set up an IPR Academy.”A representation had been submitted to the new state government and in particular to Education Minister Prof C Ravindranath,” CSIR- National Institute of Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST) senior scientist- Tech transfer and IP management Praveen Raj told TOI. The 21st century belongs to the age of intellectual wealth which comprises of innovations, [oh great, now we innovated the innovation. Last 10000 years there was no innovation, right? rubbing on plastic screen is the great innovation.] IPRs play a key role in encouraging industrial development and economic growth, [the turh is the opposite. it slows down growth and make monopolies.] and hence there is a growing need for generating awareness regarding IPRs.
A large section of our scientific personnel are yet to be fully aware of the necessity of harnessing a strong IPR system to their best advantage, he said.As a first step in this direction, IPR should be made a compulsory paper in degree courses as per the proposed curriculum revision, he said. IPR is already an optional subject for Law students in Kerala. [good by making lawyers advocates of this by telling they can loot lot of money from industry and make them soldiers of bigger exploitation.] Also the people should be made aware of the need to protect traditional knowledge from private appropriation.
