The Patent Law in India is in a stage of transition, given the continuing discussions under the WTO Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs). This compilation of the proceedings of the ˜GIM Patents Symposium 2005` strives to demystify patent laws and present the legal and business impact of the changed patent regime.
The patent system is emerging into an ongoing race with human ingenuity and investment in innovation. While the system has responded in some respects, the continued technological change and the increasing importance attributed to patents in a knowledge economy are revealing issues including patent quality, dissemination of information through patents, growing transaction costs and inconsistencies in international patent law. A mix of legal experts, technologists, academia and industry have recommended changes in the way the patent system operates and suggested various areas that the law makers, government and industry need to examine in the context of the present Indian Patents Law and international position on patents.
