Innovate in India

Global Perspectives on the Continuing Evolution of India's IP Policy

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi works to return India to high rates of economic growth, he has notably prioritized the "Make in India" campaign to build up India's domestic manufacturing sector, engaging both indigenous and international firms in the process.

In this NBR Special Report, Roy Kamphausen (NBR) argues that stronger IP protection will reduce business uncertainty and increase investor confidence, benefiting both Indian stakeholders and the international community.

The report examines India's IP and innovation environment and presents policy options for India, the United States, and the international community.
