Patent Blind Spots in India’s Startup and MSME Landscape

Abstract

India’s innovation economy is undergoing rapid expansion, powered by a thriving startup ecosystem and an extensive micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) sector. Despite their pivotal contributions to GDP, exports, and employment, the participation of these entities in the patent system remains disproportionately low. This underutilization exposes innovations to risks of misappropriation and constrains the nation’s ability to monetize intellectual property effectively.

Through policy analysis, sectoral mapping, and comparative international observations, this research identifies systemic weaknesses spanning capability gaps, structural constraints, and missed opportunity pathways. Key barriers include prohibitive costs, procedural complexities, limited awareness, and sector-specific exclusions. The paper proposes strategic reforms aimed at embedding IP capability within entrepreneurial ecosystems, reducing procedural friction, enabling effective enforcement, and creating viable monetization channels. Strengthening patent engagement emerges as a critical lever for enhancing India’s technology sovereignty, global competitiveness, and long-term innovation resilience.

Skinny labels and patent infringement in Brazil: safe harbour or liability?
The new regulation could enable a generic manufacturer to omit a patented indication from its label while the product continues to be used for that indication. This raises the concern, already debated in jurisdictions where skinny labels are permitted, that a carve-out could be used to avoid the apparent scope of a patent while inducing or contributing to infringement.
