Intellectual property right (IPR) and in particular Patent is playing a key role in the current Knowledge based economy of any country. Changes in the global economic environment and development of information technology have influenced the development of innovative business models, like Merger & Acquisition (M&A), Business tie ups, Brand equitation, Outsourcing of technology, Licensing of technology, E-commerce and like.
