1130 – 1330 Hrs Power Panel: “Creating synergies : Towards a robust IP Enforcement eco-system in the country - Role of Government”
Intellectual property (IP) rights are important and it provides for innovative industries to engage in resource- intensive research and development, which in turn spawns great technological innovations. However, IP rights are rendered virtually useless unless they are properly protected and enforced.
It is clear that the success of an innovation-dependent economy needs a lot more than just the possession of IP rights. An equal balance between enforcement and protection that address emerging threats domestically and abroad are utterly necessary to maintain and further the integrity of IP rights system.
The panel will seek to emphasize upon the need for administrative cooperation between the administrations responsible for protecting the various forms of IP and at the same time experiences of the enforcement bodies on the issues faced by them while enforcing the IP rights and the way forward.

The incredible growth and globalization of the Indian economy has been accompanied by major advances in the visibility of power brands. The escalating economic pyramid and resulting expansion of the middle class had produced unparallel growth in virtually every product sector. The establishment of these brands in the market place has required significant and sustained investment on the part of their owners but the same advances in technology have led to growth of grey market products and tainted the image of many of these brands and reduced consumer’s confidence in their authenticity.
