摘要:Intellectual Property has become a key instrument and a strategic asset in the knowledge based economy of the 21st Century. The institutionalization of Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) agreement in the World Trade Organisation (WTO)has embedded intellectual property rights (IPRs) in global trade. Various IPR instruments now play a key role in development of value added products/processes, technology transfer, research and innovation. Thus it becomes imperative for a country to strategically protect its IPR and also create roadmaps for development of this institution. In this context it is a good policy initiative of the Indian government to bring out the National Intellectual Property Rights policy, first of its kind for the country. This document attempts to provide a roadmap for IPR policy in the country. The paper makes a critical assessment of this policy document. We argue that this document has to be examined within the various policy articulations and implementation frameworks for stimulating research, innovation, and entrepreneurship in the country. Does it provide clear articulation and implementation framework for contentious issues in the global IPR environment? These are some of the issues that this paper critically examines in its investigation. The paper concludes by providing some suggestions that can strengthen this policy document further.
