Landmark Judgments on Intellectual Property

............................................................................................
Description
When Craig Venter tagged intellectual property as a critical aspect of economic development, the importance of intellectual property was just emerging. People started acknowledging the creation of the human mind as intellectual property having commercial value, which facilitated economic and social development. Angela Merkel once said, "We have a duty as the state to protect our economy. We are for the protection of intellectual property". The concepts of intellectual property are still evolving and so are the issues associated with them. This compilation has been put together to enable the reader to understand evolving judicial jurisprudence related to Copyright, Trademark, Patents, Designs, Geographical Indications and Traditional Knowledge in India. These cases would help readers in imbibing the acumen with which legal provisions are interpreted and applied. The compilation will be useful to the law students, practicing lawyers and anyone interested in learning about intellectual property jurisprudence in India. In order to make it more reader friendly, extreme care has been taken to acknowledge and include all crucial aspects of a case. This Compilation of Selected Cases on Intellectual Property Rights is a joint effort of Legal Startups and Gujarat National Law University through its Centre for Intellectual Property Rights. Dr. Kalpeshkumar L Gupta (Founder, Legal Startups) and Dr. Hardik H. Parikh (Assistant Professor of Law, GNLU & Member, GNLU Centre for IPR), came up with the idea of this book ably guided by Dr. Nidhi Buch (Head, GNLU Centre for IPR) who was a source of constant support and guidance throughout. This book has been brought to life with the contributions of our enthusiastic volunteers, who are the backbone of this endeavours. In the series of case compilations under the Legal Startups banner, this particular case compilation book is the result of the hard work and determination of budding lawyers pursuing their three-year or five-year law course in different institutes situated at different corners of India and a professional working in the field of IPR. A sincere attempt has been made to ensure that the jurisprudential essence of each case is retained and accurately reflected in the summaries prepared by our team.
