Intellectual property rights are based upon the primary issues of capturing the unique ideas of an individual or a group into an intellectual asset. In this form, it gains great value in terms of the company turnover as well as giving the company a competitive edge. Intellectual properties are primarily in the form of copyrights, trademarks, patents and industrial designs. The Indian laws were amended to comply with the provisions of the TRIPS agreement but have not succeeded in taking advantage of its flexibility. The various amendments of 1999, 2002 and 2005 have been able to remove some lacunae in our legislation. This book highlights these issues at the national and the international levels. Various cases also form part of this book.
