The document outlines plans by the HUMAN Network INDIA organization to conduct an intellectual property management sensitization program for small and medium enterprises in India. The program aims to educate MSMEs on intellectual property issues through workshops at the state, national, and international levels from 2012 to 2015. The objectives are to generate ideas, integrate IP advocacy, organize training workshops, and provide incentives to help MSMEs better manage their intellectual property. The program faces constraints like lack of support and awareness, and financial limitations. The expected results are to help MSMEs in West Bengal interact with support organizations to develop IP management strategies for business success and employment generation.
