Intellectual Property Basics for SME and entrepreneurs doing business in India

IP rights are territorial in nature: this means that they are only protected and enforceable in
the territories in which they have been registered. Therefore, EU SMEs wishing to ensure that
their intellectual property is protected in India must take the relevant steps to protect them
in this country.
Although India is signatory to many international agreements concerning IPR protection, there
are still differences, between European and Indian IP laws in regards the specific protection,
registration or enforcement of IP rights. It is therefore highly recommended to design the IP
strategy accordingly.
This video aims to present the basic elements which must be borne
in mind when developing an IP strategy in India.
