siliconindia | | July 20194In August 2018, when the Indian government announced that the application backlog for patents reduced from over 200,000 pending applications in March 2017 to just over 155,000 applications by end of June 2018, and a backlog of 450,000 trademark applications remained, it was just the beginning of the golden period of the Indian patent and trademark sector. Undoubtedly, the country has taken several measures in the past few years to reform, build and sustain an innovation ecosystem for domestic entrepreneurs and foreign investors alike. This is why the 2019 International IP Index report of U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Global Innovation Policy Center (GIPC) moved India eight slots up to the 36th rank amongst 50 countries this year."If India can surmount the serious challenges that remain, including with regard to patent eligibility and enforcement, it can build a robust innovation-led growth model for other countries to emulate," said Patrick Kilbride, Senior VP of GIPC, when releasing the annual report. With the country becoming the breeding ground for startups, MSMEs taking charge of the growth, and next generation of entrepreneurs landing in the ecosystem who understand the importance of patent and trademark registration in the global war of entrepreneurship and innovation, the need for next generation IP and trademark service providers is on the rise. These next generation IP and trademark service providers need to implement AI in the areas of patent examination, trademark image searches and handling internal policies & procedures to streamline the process and achieve faster results.
