IPR Workshop - Patenting Pharmaceuticals in India: Practical Approaches to a Vibrant Market

The Indian pharmaceutical sector has come a long way, from being almost non-existing during 1970, to a prominent provider of healthcare products. It meets almost 95 percent of the country’s pharmaceutical needs and globally ranks 3rd in terms of volume of production (10 percent of global share) and 14th by value (1.5 per cent of global share).

The next stage of development for the Indian pharmaceutical sector will definitely lie in the aspect of value creation, for which Intellectual Property becomes a ‘sine qua non’. Over the next few years, it is expected that the patent laws will provide impetus to the launch of patent-protected products. Such products have the potential to capture up to a 10 percent share of the market by 2015, implying the market size of US $2bn.

This workshop on ‘Patenting Pharmaceuticals in India: Practical Approaches to a Vibrant Market’ will be addressed by foreign & India Government officials and Intellectual Property experts.
