About Innovation Brief
The Innovation Brief is a student-led platform at National Law University Delhi that seeks to foster informed and accessible discourse at the intersection of law, innovation, technology, intellectual property, and public policy. Through our publications and initiatives, we aim to provide a space for students, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders to engage with emerging legal and policy questions. The Innovation Brief is institutionally supported by the Centre for Innovation, Intellectual Property and Competition (CIIPC) at National Law University Delhi, which works towards advancing research and dialogue on issues concerning innovation, intellectual property, and competition.
We are pleased to invite blog submissions on the theme ‘Impact of the Intersection of Innovation and Access by the EU-India FTA‘.
Scope of the Theme
The FTA’s IPR chapter could reshape the balance between innovation and access. We invite blogs on its implications for pharmaceutical patents, data exclusivity, compulsory licensing, generics, GIs, traditional knowledge, copyright enforcement, digital trade, competition policy, technology transfer and MSMEs, and on whether it fairly balances European protection standards with India’s development and public health priorities. This list is illustrative, and other aspects of the EU-India FTA can be explored including the chapters on digital trade and anticompetitive conduct. Please find the submission guidelines here.
The deadline for submissions is 20th October 2026. All submission guidelines, formatting requirements, and details regarding review are mentioned on the website, and all submissions are to be made via this link.
