India Patent News

Indian companies have been making significant strides in innovation, with several patents being granted for cutting-edge technologies. For instance, NEC Corporation's video coding device patent was rejected, while Mahindra & Mahindra has seen a surge in patents granted, from 56 to over 1,300 in the last decade. Other companies, such as NeoSapien and Setrans Mobility, have also secured patents for their innovative products, including an AI-powered wearable pendant and an indigenous EV charging system. The Indian government has also been active in protecting intellectual property rights, with the Delhi High Court restraining the use of deceptively similar trademarks and the government granting Geographical Indication tags to traditional crafts like the Pangi wood craft art. Furthermore, there have been developments in copyright infringement laws, with a focus on AI, digital piracy, and international copyright protection.
