About Seminar
Intellectual property nurtures and encourages innovation and creativity, thereby contributing towards cultural and economic development of the society. IP can be a very effective tool in achieving the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of an Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. India is experiencing a surge in start-ups and unicorns, and an effective intellectual property (IP) system is a prerequisite for a thriving startup ecosystem. New revolutionary technologies generated by the country have changed India into the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem. India ranks 42nd among 55 leading global economies on the International Intellectual Property (IIP) Index 2023 released by the U.S. Chambers of Commerce, according to which India is ripe to become a leader for emerging markets seeking to transform their economy through IP-driven innovation.
This year, overall filing of applications for various IPRs (568049) has been higher as compared to the previous year (528471), exhibiting an overall increase of 7.5%. During this year, a total of 66440 patent applications were filed exhibiting an increase of about 13.57% as compared to previous year. Domestic filing of patents applications has also increased to 29508, which is 44.41% of total filing as compared to 41.58% in 2020-21.
Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi pointed out, that for the first time in 11 years filings by Indian players exceeded those from outside the country. During the year 2021-22, total revenue generated was Rs. 1093.24 Crore, which is about 6.42% higher than that of the previous year, while total expenditure was only Rs. 204.07 Crore. The rationale for the National IPR Policy lies in the need to create awareness about the importance of intellectual property rights (IPRs) as a marketable financial asset and economic tool. History gives every country a period when it advances its development journey manifold. In a way, this is the golden age (Amritkaal) of that country. This is the golden age (Amritkaal) for India. This is the period in India’s history when the country is going to take a quantum leap.
Viksit Bharat is that of prosperous Bharat in harmony with nature, modern infrastructure, and providing opportunities for all citizens and regions. Strong economic growth in the first quarter of FY23 helped India overcome the UK to become the fifth-largest economy. India has emerged as the fastest-growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong. partnerships. India ranked 5th in foreign direct investment inflows among the developed and developing nations listed for the first quarter of 2022. The road to economic success for an idea passes through the checkpoint of intellectual property, which requires that the idea owner or inventor carefully negates the accruing intellectual property risks and seeks the best of the protection offered by the intellectual property system. To derive and maximize economic value from an idea, careful intellectual property portfolio planning, strategizing and management are essential requirements, which start at the initial stage and continue to the end of the idea’s resultant product or service lifecycle.
