India IP & Innovation ForumIndia’s diverse and growing population and booming technology industry havecontributed to the country’s rapidly developing economy. Intellectual property isnow a vital tool for Indian businesses and the need for a stronger domestic IPsystem is crucial.

In the last decade, India’s IP system has undergone significant reform tobring it in line with international standards. The accession to the MadridProtocol, the development of the Indian Patent Office and the proposedamendments to the Copyright Act are just some of the key changes shapingthe domestic system and moving it further towards harmonisation with inter-national IP systems.

Yet many areas of domestic IP protection remain unclear for IP owners in India.How should you navigate the Indian Patent Office to get the most out your appli-cations? What is the scope of your software patent protection? And what arethe best strategies for managing your IP portfolio?

To address these issues, Managing IP is pleased to announce the launch of theIndia IP & Innovation Forum on February 28 2012 at the Regency Hyatt in NewDelhi. The conference will bring together leading counsel with domestic andinternational advisers to discuss how Indian IP owners can best protect and com-mercialise their IP through a series of high-level panel discussions.
