MR ROBERT O. BLAKE, Charge` d`Affaires, US Embassy

New Delhi , April 27

Mr Robert O Blake, Charge` d`Affaires, US Embassy, has said that the Indian industry, especially the pharmaceuticals and IT sectors, is committed to strengthening the intellectual property regime.

At an IPR (intellectual property rights) workshop organised by the CII and the US embassy here, Mr Blake said: "India is becoming a global player in innovative technologies and also a world-class services sector hub."

He said both the US and India were committed to building a strong regime of intellectual property rights and promoting the development of innovation technologies.

Copyrights

On the copyrights issue, Mr Madhukar Sinha, Director and Registrar of Copyrights in the Ministry of Human Resources Development, said the pricing policy of products in the country had a bearing on the success of IPR laws.

Mr Ramesh Adige, Chairman, CII Task Force on IPR, said the enforcement of the patent system is more important to promote innovation.

He said the industry had a major stake in this and a public-private partnership model has to be evolved to address this issue.
