International IP Index: India ranked 42 in 55 countries

International IP Index

India has ranked 42nd among 55 leading global economies on the International IP Index released by the U.S. Chambers of Commerce. The United States ranks first in the 2023 index, followed by the UK and France.

According to the report, India’s size and economic influence is growing on the world stage. India is poised to become a leader for emerging markets seeking to transform their economies through IP-driven innovation. India has taken steps to improve enforcement against copyright-infringement and provides a best-in-class framework to promote better understanding and use of IP assets.

Creating a new model to address long-standing flaws in the IP framework will be critical to India’s continued economic growth, according to the report. Continued strong crackdown on copyright piracy through issuance of “dynamic” injunction orders, improved crackdown on online trademark infringement and damages, and generous R&D and IP-based tax incentives are some of India’s strong points.

India’s Weaknesses

One of India’s key areas of weakness is the 2021 dissolution of the IP Appellate Board. Limited framework for protection of biopharmaceutical IP rights and patentability requirements that are outside international standards are other weaknesses in India.
