NEW DELHI: Former Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra called for “stringent laws” and a “collaborative enforcement” on Thursday to safeguard intellectual property rights in the country, which is emerging as a developing economy.
Speaking at a conference on “Intellectual property through collaborative enforcement” organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry and United IPR here, he said there was a need to protect those who were creating, inventing or were busy in the field of innovations.
Misra said recognition of talent and its best use in the interest of institutions was the epitome of IPR (intellectual property rights).
“In the present times, the statutory regime is in force and it is in consonance with the framework of progressive countries…That is not enough. Some more stringent laws are required, because we are growing as a developing economic nation,” Misra said, adding that IPR was necessary to promote inventions and innovations. (AGENCIES)
