In the fiscal year 2023, over 41,000 patents were granted in India, a significant increase compared to a decade ago. Despite this, India's share of global patents remains low at just over 2%. Many unpatented innovations are free to use in India, as patent holders cannot enforce their rights domestically. Leveraging this free-to-use intellectual property can provide valuable insights and innovation opportunities. Companies can access patent information, implement new features, improve products, and stay ahead of the competition. Utilizing free technologies can also foster an intellectual property culture and drive business growth.
