As per the news reported by Economic Times on May 21, 2015, the
Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) is holding talks with
National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and the Central
Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to introduce IPR in the curriculum from
class 9 onwards. It is also considering discussions with the Ministry of Human
Resource Development (HRD) and the All India Council for Technical Education
(AICTE) to introduce IPR as a paper in engineering colleges. This step is
intended towards creating awareness about IPR and increase patent application
filings in the country.
DIPP is also planning to increase
the number of patent examiners and process patent and trademark applications
online so as to strengthen and reduce patent pendency in country's Intellectual
property offices. Further, the government is expected to come out with the IPR
policy in next three months, which will outline India's patent laws and the
future roadmap.
The move by DIPP highlights the
growing significance of IPR in each and every sector and the efforts by the
Government towards making India an IP-intensive nation.
