INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce. IPRs are instruments of public policy to confer economic privileges on individuals or institutions for the purposes of contributing to the greater public good. The privilege is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

a particular public issue. Public policy enters into, and influences, the enactment, execution, and interpretation of legislation. Public policy is a course of action adopted and pursued by a government. Public policy can be generally defined as a system of laws, regulatory measures, courses of action, and funding priorities concerning a given topic promulgated by a governmental entity or its representatives.

Intellectual Property Systems in India:

Mechanisms to create intellectual property that will be held in

trust for public use towards pursuing social and strategic goals are also coming up. IP system is evolving to provide a wider scope to technology innovators. As now it is important to refine the IP laws to be able to handle the challenges posed by recent technology advances, automate and digitize much of the operations and databases of the IP offices, strengthen and speed up mechanisms for addressing IP disputes and create an environment that gives confidence to investors and entrepreneurs that ownership rights of intellectual property shall be honoured in India. We as a society need to nurture strong public initiatives in creating intellectual property and holding them in trust for public use directed at social or national strategic goals.
