Which of the following is not covered by IPR ?
Answer: C
Standards are not covered by IPR.
Intellectual property rights protect creations of the mind: patents protect inventions, trademarks protect brand names and marks, industrial designs protect the ornamental appearance of products, and copyright, geographical indications and similar rights cover other creations. Each gives its owner an exclusive right for a period.
A standard, such as one issued by BIS or ISO, is an agreed specification for a product or process, meant to be widely adopted. It is not itself a category of intellectual property, even though the published text of a standard may be protected by copyright. Patents, trademarks and industrial designs are all standard categories of IPR, so they are wrong.
