Innovation is a key determinant of the global competitiveness of businesses. IP companies are those who produce intellectual property (IP) or who apply IP in producing their goods and services. IP companies contribute substantially to India’s output and employment and generate a large number of well-paying jobs.
In coming decade, India has the potential to be one of the world’s leading markets for intellectual property (IP) industries. In today's economic climate, valuation of companies is based more on the value of their intellectual property than on the value of "harder assets" such as inventory, plants and equipment. The real growth has been in the computer, telecommunications, pharmaceutical and other related industries. Because the companies in these fields have committed enormous resources to the development of inventions and the products that accompany them, they are also more than willing to commit enormous resources to protect their intellectual property. Recent actions by the Indian government in 2012, such as the issuance of the first compulsory license for a kidney cancer medication has caused stir in IP industry increasing the relevance of IP in pharmaceutical space.
