ABSTRACT
I proposed to ensure that sustainable and equitable benefits arise out of the protection of
intellectual property, it is essential to understand the impact IP has in areas such as public
health, access to knowledge, and other fields that directly affect the population at hand.
There is technological progress; there is a positive rate of growth. Following an
improvement in technology, the economy grows and reaches a new steady state. Thus,
innovation is encouraged through protection of IPRs, but creates an artificial monopoly
for a time which increases the cost of using that technology. Other methods involve fiscal
incentives and public investment. For instance, the government could offer tax credits to
entrepreneurs or give concessions to businesses as well as invest in R&D itself. It is
perhaps the IPRs issue which is most relevant to considering the law and economics
aspects of growth.

INTRODUCTION
The countries that possess major resources in science and technology, innovative
capability, and investment capital. A system of intellectual property (IP) rights can
encourage inventions by scientists and help promote the transformation of research
achievements into marketed products.
In India economic health of nations and the competitiveness of firms is determined
largely by the ability to develop, from scientific and technological (S&T) innovations.
Intellectual property rights (IPRs), such as patents and copyrights, are an important
means used by firms to help protect their investments in innovation. They are legal
instruments that have been used by governments for industrial development and
economic growth.
IPRs protect investments in innovation by granting patent for innovator.Today lot of
innovation can ready to file application concern IPR department.manily Government
spend lot of amount for spread the awarness programme for various sector. In the IPR are
very useful for indiscrimination of education , farmer etc..
Thus, IPRs an incentive to technological innovation and the objective of encouraging the
rapid diffusion of new technology and the gathering of technological knowledge.
ECONOMY IN IPR
Economy of rate incerase based on certain science & technology basically lot of
innovation are used various scetor like small scale industry, Small and Medium scale
industry. The desire to preserve domestic employment and to maintain domestic
production for reasons of national security The technological innovations in production
have involved mass production and standardization. The emerging technologies make it
possible to give an effective answer to the demand for diversification, product
customization, and personalization; these are innovation can take place lot of
employment are create to place establish the work.Inadequate IPR protection is that

economic losses suffered by innovating firms could lead to a reduction in the rate of
industrial innovation in the country and other technologically advanced countries capable
of generating innovations. A lower rate of innovation could, in turn, result in slower
world economic growth, which would hurt countries.
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
Some of the most significant emerging technologies—including those in the areas of
information, electronics, communications, and the new biotechnology—do not fit neatly
within existing categories of intellectual property rights.1
They may force a of current
approaches to protection at national and international levels.
This compression is especially apparent in microelectronics and the information
technologies, sectors in which international competition and academic and industrial
research activities are intense.These are existing technology are avaliable in India but
how can patent example like software ; India patent are more or less suitable for
electronic, communication, mechanical are know all people. In this trend can take place
modify /enforce IPR, IPR law to generate lot of income.
In R&D
This difficulty is due to the rapid diffusion of technology; the obsolescence of existing
facilities and the high capital costs of new facilities, particularly in microelectronics and
some of the new fields; the complexity of scientific and technological endeavors
economies of scale; R&D in industry, develop products that make a profit for the
company.
COMPUTER SOFTWARE
Computer software is expensive to develop but relatively easy to copy, conditions that
make it highly vulnerable to infringement of intellectual property rights. The issue of how

to protect computer software, in india can do copyrights today lot IT sector are involved
FDI but indian contion not avaliable software patent instead of copyrights.
COPYRIGHTS VS PATENT
In India similar problems with respect to existing forms of intellectual property
protection. Like computer software development, designing and preparing masks for chip
manufacture are expensive, but reproducing masks is relatively simple and inexpensive.
Basically ship can embedded in software program. this saame program can be patent in
like chip simillarlly same concept deal with written work for copyrights both are diffent
person The basic technology for manufacturing chips is well established, so it is difficult
to establish novelty or nonobviousness as is generally necessary for patent protection.
Yet, a chip design is usually too functional to meet the requirements for copyright.
BIOTECHNOLOGY
One of the most important issues, which has been raised due to the emergence of modern
biotechnology, is the legal characterization and treatment of trade related
biotechnological processes and products, popularly described as Intellectual Property its
protection. Due to these intellectual properties, many legal and public policies, which are
impediments to biotechnological research are also being challenged and are, therefore,
undergoing changes. Intellectual property is the development of crop varieties in
agriculture. They are also promote employment & increase agriculture product Since a
better understanding of intellectual property by research scientists and university/institute
administrators will increase the pace of research for technological development in
biotechnology
India is already member of
• Paris Convention
• PCT
• Berne Convention
• Convention on biological diversity

• WTO
During the last two decades of the 20th century (1980-2000), a large number of
biotechnology companies came into existence with limited resources for R&D, created to
encourage process patenting rather than novel product development in bio-technology.
Cheaper labor, technical capacity and expertise may capture markets away from
companies in the developed countries
CONCLUSION
Countries that protect patent rights well also protect other forms of intellectual property
Today India face lot of unemployment & proverty; lots of scheme is announced central
and state government to overcome the proverty. In meanwhile IPR how to utlised in
science & technology and overcome proverty, unemployment. In India country 22% GDP
based on Agriculture and also lot of people are not interest in this sector. How to involve
the people to encourage the agriculture sector and also emergeny technology using this
sector through IPR. In this period Goverenment announced “second Green Revolution“.
In this revolution impetus Science and technology. In education people provide job
various current technology lot of Software Company are avaliable in india current lot
innovation in software country but patent are outside only. it may enforce IPR LAW to
generate Icome
