Intellectual Property Index

The Index evaluates the IP frameworks of the world's top 55 economies, revealing significant improvements in 20 economies

India's overall score has increased from 38.40 percent (19.20 out of 50) in the ninth edition to 38.64 percent (19.32 out of 50) in the 10th edition

Last year India was ranked at 36th position out of 50 countries

Despite India's improved show in this year's Index though, the report noted that there were still substantial challenges regarding the country's patenting and IP enforcement environment

Our expectation is that India will improve its rank, both in absolute terms and in relation to other countries, says Patrick Kilbride
