2. INTRODUCTIO
N
◎ Intellectual property Right (IPR) is a term used for various legal
entitlements which attach to certain types of information, ideas,
or other intangibles in their expressed form. The term
intellectual property reflects the idea that this subject matter is
the product of the mind or the intellect, and that Intellectual
Property rights may be protected at law in the same way as any
other form of property. Intellectual property laws vary from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction, such that the acquisition, registration
or enforcement of IP rights must be pursued or obtained
separately in each territory of interest.

4. HISTOR
Y
 The history of intellectual property is complex and fascinating. It
began in 500 BC in Europe.
 Later there were many amendments regarding the intellectual
property rights.
 The term “INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS” was first used
in United International Bureau for the Protection of Intellectual
Property in 1893.
 In 1893, to carry out the administrative tasks relating to
intellectual property at the international level, an international
organization called United International Bureau for the protection
of IPR (Intellectual Property Rights).
 The organization subsequently relocated to Geneva in 1960, and
was succeeded in 1967 with the establishment of the WIPO
by treaty as an agency of the United Nations by the intervention
of Paris convention and Berne convention.

 According to our nation, George Alfred De Penning is supposed to have made the first
application for a patent in India in the year 1856 upon “an efficient punkah pulling
machine”. On February 28, 1856, the Government of India promulgated legislation to
grant what was then termed as "exclusive privileges for the encouragement of inventions
of new manufactures" i.e. the Patents Act.
 The first legislation in India relating to patents was the Act VI of 1856. The objective of
this legislation was to encourage inventions of new and useful manufactures and to
induce inventors to disclose secret of their inventions.
 The Act of 1859 provided protection for invention only and not for designs whereas
United Kingdom had been protecting designs from 1842 onwards. To remove this lacuna,
the ‘Patterns and Designs Protection Act’ (Act XIII) was passed in 1872.

THIS IS A
SLIDE TITLE
 In 1911, the Indian Patents and Designs Act, 1911, (Act II of 1911) was brought
in replacing all the previous legislations on patents and designs. This Act brought
patent administration under the management of Controller of Patents for the first time.
 In 1967, an amended bill was introduced which was referred to a Joint Parliamentary
Committee and on the final recommendation of the Committee, the Patents Act,
1970 was passed. This Act repealed and replaced the 1911 Act so far as the patents
law was concerned.
 Government of India implemented “Intellectual Property Rights Policy” under
Make in India in May 2016.

DIIFERENT TYPES OF PATENTS: There are three general categories of patents.
They are:
UTILITY PATENT: A utility patent is available for an invention or discovery of a new
and useful machine, manufacture, composition of matter, or process. This patent is
also available for improvements to a machine, manufacture, composition, or process
that are considered new and useful.
DESIGN PATENT: In terms of obtaining a design patent, a design is defined as the
surface ornamentation of an object, which can include the shape or configuration of
an object. In order to obtain this type of patent protection, the design must be
inseparable from the object. While the object and its design must be inseparable, a
design patent with only protect the objects appearance. In order to protect the
functional or structural features of an object, a person must also file for a utility
patent.
PLANT PATENT: A plant patent can be obtained to protect new and distinctive
plants. A few requirements to obtain this type of patent are that the plant is not
a tuber propagated plant (i.e. an Irish potato), the plant is not found in an
uncultivated state, and the plant can be asexually reproduced.
