Concept of Patent
The English word patent was derived from the Latin
patere (to be open) and referred to an open letter of
privilege from a sovereign.
In 1474, the Venetian Senate regularized the practice
of granting patents with rules and administrative
procedures.
In 1641, the first patent in the American colonies was
issued in Massachusetts for a method of
manufacturing salt.
With the Industrial Revolution, patent protection
became an increasingly important device for
encouraging innovation that allowed society to
progress.

Geographical indications
Points of Contention
If countries show scant respect for IP protection, the future of new
medicines is at risk
Incentives for the research-based pharmaceutical industry to
invest over $ 1 billion and 10-15 years in the development of a
single new medicine will be undermined
Challenges to the IP ecosystem in India are seen as a serious
concern to the future climate for innovation across several
sectors.
India is being seen as an outlier in recognising and enforcing
patent rights, and this perception could weaken India's
investment climate.
Ranbaxys move:
Applied for revocation of Novartis patent in Intellectual
Property appellate board (IPAB).
Contradiction:
Applying for patent revocation may also be construed as
an act of good faith by the generic company; to have
the validity of the patent adjudicated before launching
the generic version.
