About the Workshop

India’s intellectual property regime has evolved rapidly with TRIPS-compliant legislation, the National IPR Policy, 2016, and initiatives such as Startup India and Atmanirbhar Bharat. However, challenges remain in areas such as enforcement, criminal remedies, adjudication of repeat and habitual infringement, sentencing standards, summary trial procedures, and the compounding of IP offences.

The workshop aims to:

Examine the harmonization of India’s IP laws with TRIPS and other international obligations.
Assess the sentencing framework for IP offences, particularly for repeat and habitual infringers.
Evaluate the effectiveness and limitations of summary trial procedures in criminal IP cases.
Identify gaps in India’s criminal IP framework in light of emerging technologies.
Examine the compounding of IP offences and its impact on deterrence and enforcement.
Facilitate dialogue among the judiciary, policymakers, industry, and academia, culminating in a policy brief.
