FRAND-ing Patent Licenses And Its Implication In Landmark Cases In India

Everyday, a number of products are being invented all over the world, some cascading over the improvement of existing inventions, and the others, portraying a unique set of methods and products unknown to man at large. Simultaneously, there is an eruption of infringements that remain unnoticed or noticed following an incredulous load of proceedings and exorbitant costs. It is essential to protect the rightful rights of these owners against such infringements and unlawful interference to avoid any possible losses or damages in their peaceful functioning of their entities. In the field of protection of inventions, the adoption of Agreement of Trade Related aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) and the Patent Act, 1970 and related amendments aim to let these owners benefit from their inventions without any unnecessary disturbance.
