Protecting and managing intellectual property rights (IPR) is the first step for any business seeking to establish its presence in India, and must be incorporated as an integral part of the business asset growth strategy. Having a distinguished intellectual property can set your business apart from competitors, and become an essential part of your marketing. An intellectual property can also be sold or licensed to generate revenues for you or your business. In India, there are different types of intellectual property, which are protected under separate laws. As a result, registering intellectual property involves navigating complex legalities and submitting numerous documents. This requires expertise and familiarity with procedural norms to ensure fast and effective registration. Patents
• Law – Patents Act, 1970; amended in 2006
• Relevant Ministry – Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce and industry
• A patent is a legal right that confers monopoly to a person for his/her invention.

Under an intellectual property licensing agreement (also known as an intellectual property license or an intellectual property license agreement), you retain ownership of your patent, copyright, or trademark, but you give another party permission to use some or all of your intellectual property rights for a specific amount of time for a fee or royalty. These intellectual property contracts typically specify termination dates and procedures.
There are several types of intellectual property licenses embodied in a typical intellectual property agreement. The following three are the most common:
• Exclusive License - You agree not to grant any other licenses of the invention and rights concerned, as well as not to use the technology yourself.
• Sole License - You agree not to grant any other licenses of the invention and rights concerned, but you can use such rights yourself.
• Non-Exclusive License - You agree to give the licensee certain rights, but you also reserve the right to grant licenses of the invention and rights concerned to third parties or to use them yourself.
