Regardless of what product an enterprise makes or what service it provides, it is likely that it is regularly using and creating a great deal of intellectual property. There is an emergent need for enterprises and professionals to systematically consider the steps required for protecting, managing and enforcing intellectual property rights, so as to get the best possible commercial results from its ownership. This book provides an insight into the laws related to intellectual property and the administration of these laws. 1 INDEX S.No Contents Pg Nos 1 Introduction 3 2 History of IPR in India 10 3 Overview of Laws related to Intellectual Property 16 Rights in India 4 Copyright 17 5 Patent 38 6 Trademark 66 7 Designs 76 8 Geographical Indications of Goods 84 9 Semiconductor Integrated Circuits Design 91 10 Biological Diversity 96 11 Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmer Rights 101 12 Undisclosed Information 106 13 Indian Intellectual Property – Administrative 107 Machinery 14 The Agreement of Trade Related Aspects of 111 Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) 15 World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) 113 16 Intellectual Property Treaties 116 17 Commercialization of Intellectual Property 119 Rights(IPR) 18 Important Websites 122 2 1.

  • A Comparison of Indian and Chinese Trademark
    A Comparison of Indian and Chinese Trademark Law This is an important study conducted after discussing with more than 100 business associates in China, Hongkong, India & London. Many publications, Press News were collected to compile this report. The Indian legal system comes under frequent criticism for various reasons – systemic delays being among the top reasons, folloed by corruption in enforcement bodies and the lower judiciary. Delays particularly haunt those foreign entities that have not until recently had India on their map. An outstanding aspect of India’s legal system is that it affords the same protective rights to citizens and domestic legal entities as it does to foreign individuals or legal entities under its IP laws. Evolution of the legal system Indian courts have incorporated the principle of transborder reputation in trademark law jurisprudence and granted countless foreign trademark right owners wide protection for their brands, often in the absence of even a trademark registration in India, and frequently without use of the trademark in the Indian market. Indian courts have protected these trademarks on broad principles of equity and the desirabiulity of upholding good business ethics under the law of torts. There are adquate opportunities in India’s legal system to remedy an incorrect decision or wrongly laid down law. The writ jurisdiction of the courts under the constitution is a powerful tool for any person to seek an effective remedy against acts of arbitrariness, inaction and/or negligence on the part of government authorities, and this has come to the aid of many foreign entities with a grievance against the authorities established under IP laws.
