Importance of IPR in Global Scenario

&Its impact in Indian Market


2/16

IP encourages innovation and rewards entrepreneurs,

drives economic growth and competitiveness, creates andsupports good jobs, protects consumers and families, and

helps generate breakthrough solutions to global

challenges.

Why is Intellectual Property Important?


3/16

Why Are Intellectual Property Rights

Important?

Intellectual property (IP) contributes enormously to

our national and state economies. Dozens of industries

across our economy rely on the adequate enforcementof their patents, trademarks, and copyrights, while

consumers use IP to ensure they are purchasing safe,

guaranteed products. We believe IP rights are worth

protecting, both domestically and abroad.


4/16

IP-intensive industries employ over 55 million

Americans, and hundreds of millions of people

worldwide.

Jobs in IP-intensive industries are expected to growfaster over the next decade than the national average.

The average worker in an IP-intensive industry earned

about 30% more than his counterpart in a non-IP

industry.The average salary in IP-intensive industries

pay $50,576 per worker compared to the national average

of $38,768.

Intellectual Property Creates and Supports

High-Paying Jobs

Intellectual Property Drives Economic

Growth and Competitiveness

Americas IP is worth $5.8 trillion, more than thenominal GDP of any other country in the world.

IP-intensive industries account for over 1/3or 38%

of total U.S. GDP.

These industries also have 72.5% higher output per

worker than the national average, valued at $136,556

per worker.

IP accounts for 74% of all U.S. exports- whichamounts to nearly $1 trillion.

The direct and indirect economic impacts of innovation

are overwhelming, accounting for more than 40% of

U.S. economic growth and employment.

Strong and Enforced Intellectual Property

Rights Protect Consumers and Families

Strong IP rights help consumers make an educated choice

about the safety, reliability, and effectiveness of their

purchases.Enforced IP rights ensure products are authentic, and of

the high-quality that consumers recognize and expect.

IP rights foster the confidence and ease of mind that

consumers demand and markets rely on.

Intellectual Property Helps Generate

Breakthrough Solutions to Global Challenges

Nearly all of the 300 products on the World Health

Organizations Essential Drug List, which are critical to

saving or improving peoples lives around the globe, came

from the R&D-intensive pharmaceutical industry that

depends on patent protections.

Innovative agricultural companies are creating new

products to help farmers produce more and better products

for the worlds hungry while reducing the environmentalimpact of agriculture.

IP-driven discoveries in alternative energy and green

technologies will help improve energy security and

address climate change.

Intellectual Property Rights Encourage

Innovation and Reward Entrepreneurs

Risk and occasional failure are the lifeblood of the innovationeconomy. IP rights incentivize entrepreneurs to keep pushing for new

advances in the face of adversity.

IP rights facilitate the free flow of information by sharing the

protected know-how critical to the original, patented invention. Inturn, this process leads to new innovations and improvements on

existing ones.

Americans Founding Fathers so recognized the importance of

innovation and ensured that strong IP rights for authors and inventors

are protected in the U.S. Constitution, thus making America the

worlds entrepreneurial leadera fact borne out by the

overwhelming number of patents, copyrights and trademarks filed by

the U.S. annually.


9/16

Bringing all of these important and diverse points

together is the fact that protecting IP is a non-partisan

issue that is shared by a broad coalition of interests.

These rights are embraced by all sectors of industrysmall, medium and large companies alikeand by labor

organizations, consumer groups, and other trade

associations we bring together.

Current scenario of IPR in the Indian

market

Household goods to heavy machineries are all under

IPR regulation by foreign companies and we payheavy price to use these all. But, IPR cuts both ways:

It promotes rights and monopolies. India has also

been gaining from it.


11/16

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Right (IPR) is a

colloquial that hardly needs to be clarified nowadays.Everyone, who is related to scientific area either from

institutes or industries, is talking about intellectual

property rights and the importance of protecting

scientific discoveries because of their commercialpotential. It is easy to understand IPR if we talk it under

different modules such as: patent, copyright and its

related rights, trade mark, trade secrets, industrial design,

and geographical indication depending on the kind ofproducts that need to be regulated. Each of these has a

specific way of protecting its consequent commercial

values.


12/16

Few modules like copyrights and patent are quite popular for many

decades but IPR as such never got into public interest. It is like aremote village (which was initially unknown) become media hot

topic along with a famous personality (Amethi after Sonia Gandhi

contested). In India, the scenario started changing in the beginning

of this decade and steeped up in last few years. It became a topic of

round table discussion in business class citizen after India became

GATT signatory few years back. Consequently, under purview of

WTO and other global organisation, Indian government expanded

IPR functioning across the country. Functioning of IPR has been

restructured and set up in all four main offices metros (Delhi,Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai) so people easily can access the

information and get help in the registration of intellectual

properties.


13/16

Conversely to India, European and American people aremuch more aware about the importance of IPR

regulations. Starting from industries to institutional

premises, all have separate department dealing with IPR

issues. If we look around, things starting from householdgoods to heavy machineries are under IPR regulation by

outsider companies and we pay heavy price to use these

all. You will be surprised to read that they withdrew

many products from public domain into IPR umbrella

after Second World War.


14/16

The IPR issue has both faceson one side it protects the

right of intellectuals and eventually promotes the new

inventions, while on the other side it promotes monopoly

of the company also. You must be aware that we pay

heavy price for even lifesaving drugs although it costs far

less than actual price. We alone do not live on this planet

but along with developed countries like US, UK, Canada,etc and many other underdeveloped countries like those in

Africa. Further, we must emphasize that we are a trend

follower rather than a trendsetterwe accept willingly or

unwillingly whatsoever developed nations ask for.Initially India resisted to not become a part of IPR

regulated market but gave up keeping in mind that we

may also grow up and stand in same queue of developed

countries.


15/16

India has a vast cultivated land and pool of diversifiedintellectuals. Using these resources, we might also boost

our currency and economy by promoting IPR issues

among intellects. Some successful attempt made by India

like patented turmeric uses and basmati rice illustrates

that the IPR protection area can turn into an expensive

theater in commercial market. We might, however, begin

to wonder how we can generate more useful intellectualproperty so that the task of protecting it becomes

worthwhile.
