Govt seeks stakeholder inputs on IPR issues in proposed trade pact with Canada.
Mar 03, 2022

The government on Wednesday sought suggestions from stakeholders and industry bodies on intellectual property rights (IPR) issues in the possible trade agreement between India and Canada.
 
The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) said that the two sides are discussing a trade agreement which has a 'possibility of an interim agreement” on a wide range of areas of mutual interest.
 
'The department is currently engaging in a scoping and contouring exercise for the IPR chapter under the proposed trade agreement,” it said in a statement, asking the stakeholders to submit the details latest by March 21, 2022.
 
The department has asked stakeholders to furnish details on the IPR areas which are of 'prime considerations” such as patent, trademark, copyright, design, geographical indications, enforcement, commercialization and technology transfer, and regulatory approval.
 
As per the proforma issued by the DPIIT, they also have to provide areas of concern such as filing, registration, enforcement or commercialization of stakeholders’ IP rights in Canada, and the level at which the challenges were observed such as IP offices, enforcement agencies or any other government or regulatory agency besides the focus areas for the government in its collaborative efforts with Ottawa.
