INDIAN PATENT OFFICE GETS GLOBAL RECOGNITION
The Indian patent office has been recognized as the International Searching Authority (ISA) and
International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA) by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) consisting of more than 170 member countries. The patents so granted would be applicable in all the WIPO member countries. This would enable Indian companies to apply for global patents by filing their applications in India only. As an ISA, major functions of the Indian
patent Office will be to approve or establish the title and conduct international searches. The recognition of India as an ISA and IPEA puts India in a coveted league of only 15 nations and organizations currently recognized at a global level.
