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.

Federal Court Finds Apple Did Not Infringe Biometric Security Patents
The Court found that the Apple devices did not infringe any of the asserted claims, rejecting CPC’s construction of key claim integers that sought to impermissibly broaden their scope by reference to their functional characteristics.  Apple’s cross-claim, which was advanced defensively, was dependent on findings contrary to Apple’s primary non-infringement case, and so was mostly unsuccessful.
