This book primarily addresses the various aspects of the Patent system in India along with a detailed comparative study with other countries. It will serve as a good reading for the researchers, inventors, entrepreneurs, IPR lawyers and students by providing them an excellent overview of the important developments in this fast growing field within the past few exciting years along with discussion on the important problems in this area.
