3. WHAT IS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY?
Intellectual property rights, very broadly, means the
legal rights which result from intellectual activity in the
industrial, scientific, literary and artistic fields. Countries
have laws to protect intellectual property for two main
reasons. One is to give statutory expression to the moral
and economic rights of creators in their creations and the
rights of the public in access to those creations. The
second is to promote, as a deliberate act of Government
policy, creativity and the dissemination and application of
its results and to encourage fair trading which would
contribute to economic and social development.
3
4. DIFFERENT TYPES OF IP WORLDWIDE
There are different types of IPR namely:
1) Copyright
2) Trademark
3) Patents
4) Geographical Indications
5) Designs
6) Trade secrets and Confidential Information
7) Traditional Knowledge and Traditional Cultural Expressions
8) Biotechnology, Foodtech, Agritech
(Acts passed are based on International Agreements and treaties)
4
5. WHAT IS COPYRIGHT?
Copyright deals with the rights of intellectual creators in their creation. Most works, for
example books, paintings or drawings, exist only once they are embodied in a physical
object. But some of them exist without embodiment in a physical object. For example
music or poems are works even if they are not, or even before they are, written down by
a musical notation or words. Copyright law is a branch of that part of the law which
deals with the rights of intellectual creators.
Copyright law deals with particular forms of creativity, concerned primarily with mass
communication. It is concerned also with virtually all forms and methods of public
communication, not only printed publications but also such matters as sound and
television broadcasting, films for public exhibition in cinemas, etc. and even computerized
systems for the storage and retrieval of information.
5
6. As per S.13 and S.14 of the Copyright Act(1957), copyright in respect of any original
work subsists in:
a) Literary work (poems, stories, lyrics of a song, blog, script of a film)
b) Dramatic work
c) Musical work (composition, melody)
d) Artistic work (painting, art work, sketches or designs of a fashion designer,
architect)
e) Computer programmes (softwares)
f) Cinematographic film (cinema, documentary film, videos)
g) Sound recording
Copyright exists for 60 years in India (counted from year following the death of the
author for original literary, dramatic, musical, artistic works and in case of
cinematographic films, sound recordings, photographs, posthumous, anonymous,
pseudonymous publications, works of Government and International organizations,
counted from the date of publication, then it comes into the public domain)
6
8. WHAT ARE PATENTS?
A patent is a document, issued, upon application, by a government office (or a
regional office acting for several countries), which describes an invention and creates
a legal situation in which the patented invention can normally only be exploited
(manufactured, used, sold, imported) with the authorization of the owner of the
patent.
In a number of countries, inventions are also protectable through registration under
the name of “utility model” or “short-term patent.”
“Invention” means a solution to a specific problem in the field of technology. An
invention may relate to a product or a process.
8
9. 3 Things can get patented in India:
1. Product
2. Process
3. Inventive step
(S.3 of the Patents Act (1970) lays down
the categories of inventions which cannot be patented,
eg. bombs, nuclear weapons, surgical
methods)
The protection conferred by the patent is
limited in time (generally 20 years).
9
10. WHAT ARE TRADE SECRETS & CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION
Trade secrets are a type of intellectual property that comprise formulas, practices, processes,
designs, instruments, patterns, or compilations of information that have inherent economic
value because they are not generally known or readily ascertainable by others, and which the
owner takes reasonable measures to keep secret.In some jurisdictions, such secrets are referred
to as confidential information.
Trade secrets or confidential information are an important, but invisible component of a
company's intellectual property (IP). Their contribution to a company's value, measured as its
market capitalization, can be major.
Confidential information is safeguarded by way of NDAs, as there are no particular statutory
provisions that facilitate their registration and protection.
10
11. WHAT ARE GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS?
Darjeeling, Kolhapuri, Mysore, Goan, Ratnagiri, Kangra, Kashmiri; one common
feature of all those names is their geographical connotation, that is to say, their
function of designating existing places, towns, regions or countries. However, when
we hear these names we think of products rather than the places they designate (tea,
chappals, silk, cashewnuts (kaju), Mangoes (hapus), tea, saffron (kesar)
respectively).
Those examples show that geographical indications can acquire a high reputation
and thus may be valuable commercial assets. For this very reason, they are often
exposed to misappropriation, counterfeiting or forgery, and their protection—
national as well as international—is highly desirable.

12. A GI is registered for a period of 10
years under the Geographical Indications
Act (1999).
There is probably no category of
intellectual property law where there
exists such a variety of concepts of
protection as in the field of geographical
indications. This is maybe best
demonstrated by the term “geographical
indication” itself, which is relatively new
and appeared only recently in
international negotiations.

19. WHAT ARE DESIGNS?
Industrial design, in a lay or general sense, refers to the creative activity of
achieving a formal or ornamental appearance for mass-produced items that, within
the available cost constraints, satisfies both the need for the item to appeal visually
to potential consumers, and the need for the item to perform its intended function
efficiently.
In a legal sense, industrial design refers to the right granted in many countries,
pursuant to a registration system, to protect the original ornamental and non-
functional features of an industrial article or product that result from design activity.
19
20. The protection term for designs in India
under the Designs Act, 2000
is 10 years and can be extended
for a further term of 5 years (15 years).

21. WHAT IS TRADEMARK?
“A trademark is any sign that individualizes the goods of a given enterprise and
distinguishes them from the goods of its competitors.” A trademark distinguishes the
goods of a given enterprise from those of other enterprises. A Trademark can be
understood to be “any visible sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of
an enterprise from those of other enterprises.” There are different types of
trademarks like Collective marks, Certification trademarks, Series Mark, Well-
known marks, prohibtited marks , brand names, colour, logo, spelling & font
(wordmark) , signature, surname, shape mark, signs, symbols, alphanumeric,
numbers, domain names, smell (olfactory), Taste (gustatory), sound (auditory) ,
hologram, motion (visual) , feel, texture (tactile), colour (shade of a colour), etc.
21
23. HOW TO DESIGN A TRADEMARK?
● Firstly, a Trademark search on ipindia website, whois.com, WIPO, google,
social media in your class and other classes
● To register a Trademark, it should get clearance from the Trademark Registry
as per S.9 and S.11, which lay down the absolute grounds and the relative
grounds of refusal of a trademark respectively.
● So keep in mind these grounds while designing your trademark and applying for
registration at the TM Registry.
23
24. S.9 and S.11 grounds
● S.9:Absolute grounds for refusal of registration
● (1) The trade marks—(a) which are devoid of any distinctive character, that is to say, not
capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one person from those of another person;

designate the kind, quality, quantity, intended purpose, values, geographical origin or the
time of production of the goods or rendering of the service or other characteristics of the
goods or service;
● (c) which consist exclusively of marks or indications which have become customary in the
current language or in the bona fide and established practices of the trade, shall not be
registered: Provided that a trade mark shall not be refused registration if before the date of
application for registration it has acquired a distinctive character as a result of the use
made of it or is a well-known trade mark.

● (c) the shape which gives substantial value to the goods. Explanation.—For the purposes
of this section, the nature of goods or services in relation to which the trade mark is used or
proposed to be used shall not be a ground for refusal of registration.
25
26. ● Section 11:Relative grounds for refusal of registration
● (1) Save as provided in section 12, a trade mark shall not be registered if, because of—
(a) its identity with an earlier trade mark and similarity of goods or services covered by the
trade mark; or
● (b) its similarity to an earlier trade mark and the identity or similarity of the goods or
services covered by the trade mark, there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the
public, which includes the likelihood of association with the earlier trade mark.
● (2) A trade mark which—(a) is identical with or similar to an earlier trade mark; and
● (b) is to be registered for goods or services which are not similar to those for which the
earlier trade mark is registered in the name of a different proprietor, shall not be registered,
if or to the extent, the earlier trade mark is a well-known trade mark in India and the use of
the later mark without due cause would take unfair advantage of or be detrimental to the
distinctive character or repute of the earlier trade mark.
26
27. ● (3) A trade mark shall not be registered if, or to the extent that, its use in India is liable to be
prevented—(a) by virtue of any law in particular the law of passing off protecting an unregistered trade
mark used in the course of trade; or
● (b) by virtue of law of copyright.
● (4) Nothing in this section shall prevent the registration of a trade mark where the proprietor of the
earlier trade mark or other earlier right consents to the registration, and in such case the Registrar may
register the mark under special circumstances under section 12. Explanation.—For the purposes of this
section, earlier trade mark means—(a) a registered trade mark or convention application referred to in
section 154 which has a date of application earlier than that of the trade mark in question, taking
account, where appropriate, of the priorities claimed in respect of the trade marks;
● (b) a trade mark which, on the date of the application for registration of the trade mark in question, or
where appropriate, of the priority claimed in respect of the application, was entitled to protection as a
well-known trade mark.

unless objection on any one or more of those grounds is raised in opposition proceedings by the
proprietor of the earlier trade mark.
27
28. ● (6) The Registrar shall, while determining whether a trade mark is a well-known trade mark, take into account
any fact which he considers relevant for determining a trade mark as a well-known trade mark including—
(i) the knowledge or recognition of that trade mark in the relevant section of the public including knowledge
in India obtained as a result of promotion of the trade mark;
● (ii) the duration, extent and geographical area of any use of that trade mark;

● (iii) the business circles dealing with the goods or services, to which that trade mark applies.

India by any court or Registrar, the Registrar shall consider that trade mark as a well-known trade mark for
registration under this Act.

copyright, geographical indications, trademarks, patents, designs as both civil
remedies (damages, injunction) as well as criminal action and enforcement
(imprisonment, fines, customs seizure and destruction) under the respective statutes.

40. “Salus populi est suprema lex”
Compulsory licensing is when the Government allows someone other than the owner
of the copyright or patent to produce copies of the books, or produce the patented
product or use the patented process, without the consent of owner of copyright or
patent for the benefit of mankind, because public welfare is the highest law.
Eg. Need for compulsory licensing of covid drugs and vaccines.
40
41. WOMEN IN IPR
The intellectual property (IP) gender gap is a
real problem; only around 16 percent of patent
applications filed through WIPO's Patent
Cooperation Treaty (PCT) are from women,
leaving countless brilliant minds and their ideas
untapped. By taking action now to enable and
support women innovators, we can unlock their
potential for innovation, strengthen IP and
innovation ecosystems and drive economic
growth.
41
42. ● Science, like many other fields, has been dominated by men, leaving women less
options to excel in. Why should we not encourage women to take up scientific
research just like men? We need to create a world where women everywhere
can pursue their passion for science and technology. Thus, we need to spread
awareness amongst women regarding various aspects of IPR, so that they can
protect their inventions and also get value for their research.
● At the same time, Governments, Corporates and Individuals need to join hands
in order to introduce special scholarships, incentives, fellowships and schemes
for women to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and
mathematics) fields.
42
43. ● In India, the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (CGPDTM)
offers an 80 percent fee reduction to start-ups and women entrepreneurs, who wish to file their
IPR and protect their inventions and businesses.
● WIPO too has a Gender Action Plan, to be published soon, to promote and encourage the
engagement of women in IP and innovation ecosystems around the world. WIPO’s IP and
Gender Action Plan is built around three pillars of activity:
• Supporting governments in integrating a gender perspective into IP legislation, policies,
programs, and projects;
• Leading research to identify the scope and nature of the gender gap in IP and ways to close the
gap; and
• Piloting new gender-oriented projects and initiatives to enhance the IP knowledge and skills of
women and the institutions that support them.
43
44. WHAT ARE THE ALLIED AREAS OF IPR?
There are other IPs and allied areas as well:
Softwares, AI/ML/DL, AT, VR/AR (Copyrights in India, Patents outside)
Data protection and privacy
Domain names (Trademarks in India)
Semi-conductor Integrated Circuit Layout-Designs
