IP Spectra: The Facilitation Centre for Agriculture Sector
Intellectual Property plays a crucial role in gaining a viable advantage in terms of technological gains for achieving higher economic growth in a market-driven economy. Many countries have implemented better strategies for implementing strong Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection for strengthening industries and trades. Indian industries, particularly the MSMEs, are behind the curve in recognising the importance of IPR and implementing it as a business strategy for enhancing competitiveness. The Indian MSME sector needs to focus more on protecting their Intellectual Powers. Industrial Property consists of rights related to inventions, i.e., patents, trademarks, industrial designs, protection of plant variety (PPV&FV) and geographical indications (GI). While copyright protects rights related to the expression of thoughts in the fields of literature, musical and artistic works. IP rights need to fulfil the requirements specified by jurisdiction to get an exclusive right to the creator for a specified period of time. IP Spectra was initiated at ZTM & BPD Unit, ICAR-IARI by the Ministry of MSME and ICAR-IARI for IP Facilitation to Argo-based MSMEs. It invites the start-ups to help resolve their Intellectual Property Matters.
