Export Control and Intellectual Property\u00a0<\/h1>\n \n
\n\n \n

Over the last decade India has established itself as a major player in global electronics manufacturing and design. This is especially true when it comes to semiconductor development. India accounts for 20% of global semiconductor chip design currently, and the Indian semiconductor industry is expected to grow to a market value of $64 billion by 2026.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding export controls is critical to India\u2019s growing semiconductor industry. Export controls help protect sensitive technological infrastructure, strengthen foreign policy, maintain economic competitiveness, and secure supply chains so that innovation can thrive. Professionals who work in the semiconductor industry in India must invest in export controls and intellectual property education so they can keep up with rapidly changing regulatory environments. \u202f <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n\n

Purdue University is a global leader in semiconductors and technology education, offering state-of-the-art semiconductor research, academic programs focused on semiconductor education, and partnerships with industries leading semiconductor development. We are the #1 most recognized public university in the U.S. (American Caldwell, 2025) and in the top 10 for most innovative universities in the U.S. (U.S. News and World Report, 2026). We are also consistently recognized for the number of patents we generate (U.S. Patents and Trademark Office, 2024).\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Export Control and Intellectual Property series offers six courses to help India\u2019s high-tech workforce navigate the complex regulations that effect semiconductor development. The first three courses cover U.S. export control policies, and the next three courses cover intellectual property protections in the technology industry. Together, these courses prepare semiconductor professionals to navigate complex regulatory environments with confidence.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learners that successfully complete the three IP courses are also prepared to take the National Academy of Inventors IP certification test. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
