She has mentioned various points to overcome the problems and explained a new IPR paradigm. Various statutory provisions in India and WIPO initiatives have been discussed. She spoke at length about the need of the skill, academics, and implications of IPR Laws. She focused on FICCIs efforts for enhancing the working of the Indian Patent Office, thereby, bringing greater transparency in its working, and facilitating the Government in developing a policy for India. The interactions were very relevant and meaningful. Participants would be benefitted with this session.
