In India, the patent process began with Act VI of 1856. The primary goal of the Act was to incentivize the development of innovative and useful manufactured goods and to encourage inventors to publicly disclose their creations. Since it had been passed without the consent of the British government, Act IX of 1857 revoked it. Act XV of 1859 provided new laws for awarding “exclusive privileges.” Changes from the previous law include limiting the granting of patent monopolies to really valuable innovations and increasing the priority period from six to twelve months. The Act specifically disqualified importers from being considered an innovator. After then, in 1872, 1883, and 1888, the Act was revised. Intellectual property law & intellectual property violation are worldwide issues because of the proliferation of international commerce and the dissemination of knowledge. Consistent advances in technology force changes to and expansions of existing intellectual property systems. The advent of novel technologies like digital recording, the World Wide Web, and genetic engineering has opened up exciting new possibilities and risks. Trade, economic growth, intellectual and cultural development, the gathering and sharing of knowledge, and the more pedestrian purchase and sale of products and services are all aspects of this ever-evolving and important topic. To help the general public understand the legislative framework, practice, and procedure of intellectual property protected through patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs, and geographical indications, this book has been written to give readers a broad overview and deep understanding of patent law.
