Insights: Events Cutting Edge IP Issues in US and India

7th Edition Legal Era Conclave 2018

The US has a trade secret statute. India does not. And how do US companies perceive that in their investments into India? A huge impediment…because typically when you work with US companies, that’s the first question the ask: India does not have a statute, so how do we protect trade secrets in India? A lot of the time, what US companies do is that they protect trade secrets in India through contracts. And you have heard about the contract enforcement challenges in India...India ranks – what – 164 on 190 on contract enforcement? So, it’s not really a very appropriate mechanism for US companies, and that creates a lot of anxiety and hesitation to share their trade secrets with their Indian counterparts.
