Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) plays significant role in the trade of every nation. The importance of IPR has increased ever in the digitized world, where the risk of creative ideas getting stolen has become very high. Hence the importance of strong IP laws has become highly significant. IP crimes have become part and parcel of digitized era, leading to failure of  business. Hence IPR gives security to intangible properties which are still open to public which can be quickly replicated by anyone. The main objective of IPR is to protect the invention and to give reward for one's creative endeavour. IPR encourages and stimulate the creation of talented creators.

Any innovation including, unique name, symbol, logo or design used commercially can be regarded as intellectual property. In this world of globalization, being ahead in innovation, technology and trade is of utmost importance. Even though India is well known for its intellectual skills in various field, reports show that the country lags behind in filing patents.

However IPR filings are witnessing small growth in India. According to data from the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), the number of patents filed in India in 2018 was more than 2.5 times those filed in 2009. The future of IPR in India will depend on three things: awareness about IPR benefits, stronger enforcement, and convincing Indians that national interest will not be compromised.
