Need of combination of effective government schemes and
policies, fiscal incentives, financial assistance and technological
infrastructure.
Enhancing the current IPR ecosystem-analyse the ways and
means of capitalising on strengths and removing weaknesses of
the present ipr regime.
Need to ensure an appropriate legislative framework on IPR in
conformity with the changing dynamics of innovation,
Measures to expedite the processing of patent and trademark
applications,
Active coordination between enforcement agencies
Appointment of skilled manpower and additional staff for deftly
handling ipr issues.
