The regular readers of Spicy IP may already be familiar with Managing IP, an organization providing global resources for IP news and analysis, whose IP webinars have often been announced and reported in the past in this blog (here, for example). One of the resource units in the Managing IP website concentrates exclusively on relevant and contemporary India-specific IP issues, titled India IP Focus. The latest edition of India IP focus, for example, brings for the readers a wonderful repository of articles written by top IP practitioners and scholars focusing on such matters.
These include the need for innovation in the Indian IP sector like introducing e-courts to tackle the growing influx of cases (penned by a team from Anand & Anand), the need for clarity in the patentability of software-related products (written by associates from Lakshmi Kumaran & Sridharan), the provisions regarding jurisdiction in Indian IP (by lawyers from Aditya & Associates), novel facets allowing smooth operation of trademark litigation in India (by a member of De Penning & De Penning), interpretations and possible solutions to intermediary liability (by Shwetasree Majumder from Fidus Law Chambers) and many others.
While a large portion of the resources provided by Managing IP are available only to the subscribers, these articles are free for access for everybody, which is quite a good news for the readers and IP enthusiasts. The Spicy IP team hopes to be able to bring from time to time for the readers a review of some of these interesting pieces of work. So till then, happy reading, folks!
