India is running the race against time and tide to become a global player. And innovation is playing an important role in winning this race. Filing intellectual properties is a part of securing such innovations. But India slipped to 40th position on the global intellectual property index among 53 countries from its 36th position among 50 countries in 2019.

Since the release of National IPR Policy in 2016, the implementation of the policy has improved the speed of processing for patent and trademark applications along with increased awareness of IP rights among Indian innovators and creators.

However, if we have slipped in the raking, the job is not done yet. It is important to scrutinize where we are stuck. Creating innovation and IP-ing them are the two strong growth pillars of any nation that attracts global buyers and investors alike. Whether its individual innovator or a SME or a multi-national corporate house, securing innovation should be the prime motive of every entity. Helping them do so are the patent and trademark service providers who help them seal & secure their intellectual properties from any kind of infringement and earn royalty from their IPs.
