Although, copyright protection has been in existence in India for more than 150 years, copyright issues in academic institutions have not received enough attention. This paper attempts to look at the issues in the background of the philosophical justification for copyright protection. After a bird’s eye view of the basics of copyright, the paper looks at the traditional issues relating to scope, ownership and use of copyrighted works in educational institutions, in the light of case laws. Then the possible issues that Indian educational institutions may have to face in the context of the emergence of digital technologies and widespread use of information technology are examined. The paper concludes with certain suggestions for the consideration of the educational institutions. </smarttagtype></smarttagtype> <br/> <br/>Page(s): 207-225 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/4876 Title: Technology Transfer and the Intellectual Property Issues Emerging from It – An Analysis from a Developing Country Perspective <br/> <br/>Authors: Mukherjee, Srijit; Bhattacharjee, Sudipta <br/> <br/>Abstract: The exploitation of technological knowledge is central to the development process. Less developed economies typically obtain this knowledge from more advanced ones rather than by creating it themselves<b style="">. </b>Transfer of technology is the transfer of a patent with respect to a particular product, which is patented<b style="">. </b>The product of technology is mixed up with the technology itself. No effort is made to make a distinction between the two. This paper attempts to clarify the meaning of technology transfer and what it actually transfers and elaborates on the modalities of technology transfer agreement and the various types of the same. It also deals with the situation where there is a loss of confidentiality and elaborates on its effect on the liabilities of the contracting parties in various jurisdictions. The article also attempts to deal with the various intellectual property issues involved in technology transfer and attempts to analyse things from a developing country perspective. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 260-274 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/4875 Title: <smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"><smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"> Towards a Policy for Management of Intellectual Property in Public Agricultural Research Systems in India</smarttagtype></smarttagtype> <br/> <br/>Authors: Rao, N H; Sastry, R Kalpana <br/> <br/>Abstract: <smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="City"><smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"><smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"> An IP policy framework for public agricultural research systems in India is developed by taking the example of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi. The framework is based on assessments of how various international agreements have influenced IP generation and use in agricultural research and how different national and international public systems are responding to the challenge of IP management in agricultural research. </smarttagtype></smarttagtype></smarttagtype> <br/> <br/>Page(s): 242-259 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/4874 Title: <smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"><smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"> WTO-TRIPS Obligations and Patent Amendments in India: A Critical Stocktaking</smarttagtype></smarttagtype> <br/> <br/>Authors: Raju, K D <br/> <br/>Abstract: <smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"><smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"> Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement was one of the most contentious issues in the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, which was concluded in 1994 at Marrakech. The commitments under the TRIPS Agreement compelled India to amend its patent regime in 1999, 2002 and 2003 (the Amendment Bill lapsed due to the dissolution of the present Lok Sabha). This paper examines the amendments in the Indian patent system in consequence of TRIPS Agreement, and Indian reaction to the same in substantial and procedural levels. India opted for the setting up of a ‘mail box’ and has taken Exclusive Marketing Rights (EMR) route for the transitional period. The second section analyses the implications of transitional period and to suggest further options available to India. It also looks into the new provisions included in the Patents (Amendment) Bill 2003. This paper, based on a review of amendments to the Indian law, concludes that the Indian patents regime is inadequate to meet the challenges posed by the TRIPS Agreement. It also puts forward some suggestions to improve the patent regime in the country as a whole. </smarttagtype></smarttagtype> <br/> <br/>Page(s): 226-241
