About the Webinar

The ever-changing global economic environment has influenced the development of business models where IP is a key element establishing value and potential growth. As a result, measures to protect these intellectual assets have become a core component for the success and viability of a modern firm. However, with the ways of doing business evolving drastically due to the Internet/digital technologies, the ways IP rights are being illegally exploited by infringers have also changed. Notably, the remedies pursued earlier to protect IP may not be adequate now where the outreach of goods, which infringes IP in one way or the other, has become profound and is not confined to conventional boundaries. Judicial pronouncements have hence started taking cognizance of this change; focusing on how IP laws can be effectively applied in the digital ecosystem to ensure a healthy and fair atmosphere for trade and commerce. For businesses too, there is a need to forge a comprehensive litigation strategy to protect their IP.

FICCI, in association with Y. J. Trivedi & Co., is organising a webinar on “IP Infringement: Shift in Seeking Remedies – Then and Now” on 9^th September 2021 (Thursday) from 4:00 to 5:30 pm. The discussion will deliberate on the ways IP rights were infringed earlier and the actions taken by the right holders vis-à-vis the current situation where there are wide horizons and ways available to infringers to hinder businesses and the goodwill of IP owners, and the legal provisions available to preempt this growing problem.
