Mizoram, known as the "Land of the Hill People," is a state rich in culture, biodiversity, and traditional craftsmanship. From the intricate weaves of its handlooms to the cultivation of high-value spices like Bird's Eye Chilli, Mizoram possesses a wealth of intellectual assets. As the state moves towards economic modernization and sustainable development, the protection of these assets through Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is becoming increasingly vital.
