| Abstract: | Innovative resource use
or ‘jugaad’ by ordinary Indian has
contributed immensely to adapting to hardships on the one hand and adding to
the global knowledge bank on the other hand. In the present era, India possesses
one of the more elegant IPR systems in the world, although the newly enacted
laws have encountered minor hiccups. In fact, it was an Indian agricultural
product (Basmati rice) that caused a furore over three continents on three
different aspects of intellectual property laws in the last decade of the 20th
century. However, the 21st century seeks answers to problems beyond
the major milestones in Indian agriculture (the green and white revolutions) to
tackle the problems of food security and volatile food prices. The gap in the
perception of researchers and legal acumen needs to be bridged; wherein IP
audit is an important tool to assess and project the intellectual properties of
clients. This paper attempts to synthesize a well-knit idea for IPR awareness
in agriculture sector using sectoral as well as external examples. |
