  1. SEMINAR ON EMERGING IMPORTANCE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS PROTECTION IN INDIA - GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE PATENTS AT GLOBAL LEVEL & IMPORTANCE OF PATENT TRACKING - INDIAN CONTEXT By PADMIN BUCH B.Pharm; MBA; CMC Chief Consultant GITCO, Ahmedabad November 26, 2006

  2. GITCO BACKGROUND • Multi-disciplinary Technical Consultancy Organization • Strong base in Drugs and Pharmaceutical Sector: • World Bank Study on Drugs Laws Review • GITCO Patent Cell set-up with the help of Government of Gujarat • Conducted number of Patent Awareness and Technical Symposiums • Filed several Patents so far • Patent Cell has an informal Tie-up with Mark Patent.ORG

  3. Globalisation “Integration of economies and societies through cross country flows of information, ideas, technologies, goods, services, capital, finance and people” Dr. C. Rangarajan

  4. Increased use of IP systems by companies at international level Total of 5.4 million patents in force world-wide (2004) Increase in the use of WIPO’s PCT system WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTYORGANISATION (WIPO) REPORT (OCT. 2006)

  5. WIPO Report Contd…. • Large increase in foreign patent filings in countries such as Brazil, China, India, Korea and Mexico • Boom in Patent Filing in North East Asia • China and Republic of Korea lead • Reflects internationalization of Patent system in Sync with World Economy

  6. WIPO Report Contd…. • At the same time, Patents still remain concentrated • Five Patents Offices (USA, Japan, Korea, China and EU) account for : • 75% of Patents filed world-wide • 74% of Patents granted world-wide • Information on patents in force is not easily available for several Patent offices

  7. Number of Patent Applications Received (India)

  8. INDIA IMPLEMENTS PRODUCT PATENT • Directly affects industries of Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, Agro Chemicals and Textiles. • Also affects all Technology and Knowledge based Industries • Industries, particularly, small and medium scale sector worried and confused. • Certain myths and misconception prevail

  9. IPR : SOME MYTH AND MISCONCEPTIONS • “We are not into Research : IPRs not important to us” • “We are into well set/routine production process. Why IPR for us!” • “We came across a good Technology on visit overseas. As it is patented we can not use it” • “We were developing a very good Herbal Product. We are told somebody overseas has obtained “world Patent” for it !!” • “Without resources IPR can not help us in innovations, increase business profits, etc.”

  10. MAKING USE OF IPR SYSTEM • India has strong base of business infrastructure and enterprise in Small Scale Sector • It lags behind in research and development • Requires tying up of Technology available with ready business infrastructure • Techno-legal information : an essential strategic tool • Information pertaining to Patents becomes one of the key sources

  11. PATENT INFORMATION • It is technical and legal information given in Patent documents. • Significant proportion of technical information provided in patent application is normally not available except patent office database. • Makes Patent information the single most comprehensive source for classified technological data

  12. RELEVANCE OF PATENT INFORMATION TO INDUSTRIES/SMEs • Patents are unique source of technical information • Most innovations are disclosed to the public for the first time when Patent is published • So it provides information about latest technology before the new product enters the market.

  13. ADVANTAGES OF PATENT INFORMATION (PI) • Avoiding duplication of research efforts • Identify alternate technologies • Get ideas for further innovations • Avoid possible infringement problems / Patent litigations • Locate potential business partners/competitors

  14. NEED FOR PATENT TRACKING FACILITY • Industries generally ignorant about importance of Patent information • SMEs always not capable of search and identifying relevant information • Patent tracking facility Centre would provide these useful and latest information regarding Patent

  15. INTERNATIONAL PATENT CLASSIFICATION (IPC) • International Patent Classification provides a common classification for patents • IPC is a hierarchical system in which the whole area of technology is divided into a range of sections, classes, subclasses and groups. • This system is indispensable for the retrieval of patent documents. • The Classification is periodically revised in order to improve the system and to take account of technical development. • The current, eighth, edition of the IPC entered into force on January 1, 2006.

  16. METHODOLOGY • International Patent Classification (IPC) by WIPO : Latest Version : 8th Edition • Classification : Section A to H • Covers all industry groups • Preliminary search, quick search and advance search • Online Database of various Patent Offices • Also paid Database (Online/Compiled) • Abstract of Patents published/granted

  17. SOME INDICATIVE PATENT INFORMATION SOURCES • Web-based Database of Indian Patent Offices (Government of India) • National Informatic Center (NIC) • European Patent Office • US Patent and Trademark Office • Canadian Patent Office • Department of IP, Thailand • World Intellectual PropertyOrganisation (WIPO) : PCT Database • China (SIPO), Japan and Korea

  18. ILLUSTRATIVE LISTSPECIALISED DATABASE(Paid/Subscription based) • DELPHION • Dialogue • STN (STN Easy, Sci-finder) • Questal Orbit, etc. • ESPACE Global Pat (Coverage of US, EP & WO patent data from 1971 to 2003) • ESPACE Access (Bibliographic data & abstracts of EP & PCT applications since 1978)

  19. SCOPE OF WORK AND METHODOLOGY • A Patent Tracking Facility Center (PTFC) may be set up (e.g. at GITCO) • Experts to be inducted & associated • The Center would have necessary expertise, facilities, infrastructure and linkages to track the Patent related data on-line • The Centre would cover more than one industry and relevant product groups

  20. Deliverables • On going Tracking of Patent Information • Patent Information News Letter • On-line Patent tracking facility • Prior Art/Family Search • Creation of database • IPR Compliance (NIPER Model) • Technology Tie-up

  21. “There is an urgent need to eradicate Patent illiteracy . Else it would corrode our national technological-industrial edifice itself.” Dr. AD Damodaran Former Director, RRL (CSIR)

  22. “If you think you are going to be successful running your business in the next ten years the way you did in the last 10 years, you are out of your mind” “To succeed, you have to disturb the present” Robert Goizueta CEO,CocaCola
