New Paradigms in Intellectual Property Rights Protection and legislation

Intellectual Property (IP) refers to the creation of the human intellect innovations such as inventions, literary and artistic works, images, symbols, designs etc., used in business and commerce. Over the years there has been indication to show that technology and knowledge are important elements for economic advancement and improvement.

The protection of Intellectual Property Rights is a crucial element of any financial policy for all the countries. Only protection can encourage research, original ideas and technological innovations by giving freedom to individual innovators, researchers and corporations to value their innovative efforts. In the initial years protection of intellectual property was given to only certain classes of Intellectual property. However, due to recent technological advancements, Intellectual property rights has been extended to new knowledge and innovations such as animations, search
engines, E-commerce websites and artificial intelligence etc.

The Intellectual Property law regime comprises of many loopholes as it lacks effective implementation, therefore in specific the Indian IPR system should deliver enough legal protection to capitalize on incentives to engage in creative and innovation processes whilst providing the legal framework that lessen the effect on the commercial market place and intervention with effortless flow of ideas.

In the light of the above considerations, the Conference will try to discuss issues and predominantly to recognize the major flaws in the present legal regime and to deliberate on how to strengthen the Indian IPR regime in fostering the economic development of the country. Further, analyze the challenges for policy-makers to find an optimum balance between the rights of the inventors who provide technological inventions, to improve social circumstances and the need of the public at large.
