India is very backward in intellectual property…!

    India has a golden history, it is undisputed. But the bitter truth is that we do not meet the criteria of the scale of development and development in the modern era. In the global map of intellectual property, ie Intellectual Property (IP), a single telescope is needed to find the country of India. Despite being the second largest population in the world, it is self-evident that India is below the 'poverty line' in intellectual property.

    In digitization, invention and technology, we find ourselves in an abusive situation, because they are directly related to intellectual property. China, America, Germany, Japan are there, countries like South Korea have gone very far in the field of IP, and when we brought the formula from here, they started studying their multiplicity of prosperity after adopting the old technology. The financial system has become the economic model of a country, the process of giving opportunities to advance the country by copying the education system is still continuing. It is easy to adopt the technique of borrowing, but without the habit of investing capital, labor and patience in doing research.

    The United Nations established the World Intellectual Property Organization in 1967 to protect IP rights. Where in the last five decades have the conscious countries gone? An analysis of information compiled from 151 countries of the world shows that during the year 2019, a total of 1.5 million patents were granted in the world, out of which 30 percent or 445280 patents came to China, with 23.62 percent share or USA with 354430 patents. On the rung, Japan stood at the third position with 12 percent ie 179910 patents, D. Korea with 8.37 percent or 125661 patents and Europe with 137782 patents. Compared to 2018, the total number of patents granted in 2019 increased by 5.5 percent.

     According to the Organization's data, in 2019, a total of 3224200 applications were applied for patents worldwide, which was 3 percent less than the total of 3325400 applications made in the year 2018. This decline was due to a drastic decrease in the number of applications made by the Chinese. For the first time in the last 24 years, applications made by the Chinese declined. Excluding China, in 2019, the number of total patent applications made in the world was increased by 2.3 percent. This figure can easily explain China's weight and status at the global level.

     The history of China's successive progress has been limited to no centuries, not just three decades, even today we are skeptical, if we consider ourselves to be a tramp The same situation, for industrial design and new varieties of plants, 1360900 and 21430 applications were applied globally in 2019, which is 1.3 per cent and 7.8 per cent more in 2018 as compared to 1343800 and 19880 respectively. Of the total patent applications (3224200) in 2019, about 1.4 million applications were filed from China, 6.21 lakh from the US, 3.07 lakh from Japan, 2.18 lakh from South Korea and 1.81 lakh from Europe.

     These five countries account for more than 84 percent of the total applications in the world. In our country, research institutes are active in agriculture, industrial, bio, health, geology, maritime and even finance-banking sector, but it is a tradition to make the foreign institutions wear their indigenous veneer by bringing the foreign structure in place when needed. is. Patent offices are opened in such a vast India only and only four metro cities - Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Delhi.

    The overall activities related to IP in the country are under the Controller General, the Controller General is an IAS officer. The IP Controller comes under the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion of the Ministry of Commerce. To say that our country has a population of 138 crores, barely 53627 patent applications were received in 2019, which means an average of 1 application per 25733 persons. An average of 1 application per 1028 persons per 144 crore population, US population is 33 crores and an average of 532 persons, Japan's population is 13 crores, average of 423 persons, and 1 application is made in South Korea with an average of 234 persons. He Came. A total of 67434 applications were filed from Germany, 35511 from Russia, 36488 from Canada and 29758 patent applications from Australia in 2019.

     India has been performing optimistically for four consecutive years in terms of patent acceptance. It was ranked 10th in the list of 150 countries in the world in 2018 in terms of grant of patents. Jumping up to 9th position in 2019, registering an increase of 69.5 per cent, Germany has risen from 9th position in 2018 to 7th position in 2019 in the global rankings.

      The total number of patents applied in the world crossed 7 million in 2019 with an increase of 7 per cent over 2018, the highest 31 lakh patents in the US, 27 lakh patents in China and 21 lakh patents applied in Japan, the number of patents applied in India Is 76556. Sources in the Patent Office say that due to the staff being low, the workload remains excessive, the pay package is inconsistent. The policies for promotion of personnel are flawed and there is a lot of bias.

     There is an absolute lack of awareness in the country about the IP sector. It was told that the rate of fees from applicants is not rational, this discourages applicants. These problems should not be there, despite the huge financial resources.
