India's Innovation Growth Highlights Challenges in IP Commercialisation and Standards
India has seen a significant rise in patent filings, becoming the world's sixth-largest filer with around 1.43 lakh patents in 2025-26. While innovation is growing, challenges remain in commercialising intellectual property (IP) and increasing private-sector participation. India's contribution to global technology standards and essential patents is limited, despite a large digital economy. Recent legal clarifications emphasize the importance of strong IP rights to support innovation and digital infrastructure, highlighting the need for policies that balance IP protection and access.
