Factsheet: IP in the Pharma & Healthcare Sectors in India
|
India has gained a reputation as the world’s biggest pharmacy, being a centre of manufacturing to a large part of the world’s drugs and medical equipment. In India as in the rest of the world, the pharma and healthcare sectors are some of the most highly regulated markets, which require regulatory approvals before any drug can be put on the market. This new factsheet seeks to offer EU SMEs general guidelines on how to protect and manage their intellectual property in India when operating in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.

Factsheet: Trade Secret Protection in India
|
Trade secrets play an ever-increasing role in a company’s business strategy and IP portfolio. While trade secrets should primarily be seen as a tool to protect different kinds of information such as formulas, techniques or methods diffused across enterprises, they can also act as an alternative to formal IP rights in some limited cases. Introducing a definition of trade secrets, the publication also explains why trade secrets are important for SMEs willing to internationalise to India, and how to protect them on the Indian market.
