IP Acts in INDIA
First Intellectual Property Right was introduced in 1856 by British Government, named as “Act on Protection of Invention” .
Latest amendment has been done in 2012, in which some clauses were included to satisfy the conditions of Budapest Treaty of 1977.
IP Acts in INDIA...
INDIA is signatory to Berne Copyright Convention.
Under this, each member state recognizes the copyright of authors from other member states in the same way as the copyright of its own nationals.
It means that if you has patented a product in INDIA then you will have same patent in all member countries, no need to apply separately.

So Intellectual property rights must be obliged and followed properly.
It is not only the responsibility of Government but also of the entire society to ensure the implementation of intellectual rights properly.
