Abstract
Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) play a pivotal role in fostering
innovation, economic growth, cultural development, and technological
advancement. In a knowledge-based economy like India, the legal protection and
effective enforcement of intellectual property have become critical to
balancing private rights with public interest. This research paper critically
examines the role of law in the protection and enforcement of intellectual
property rights in India. It explores the conceptual foundations of IPR, the
evolution of India’s intellectual property regime, and the impact of
international obligations particularly the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects
of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). The paper further analyses statutory
frameworks governing patents, copyrights, trademarks, geographical indications,
and designs, along with civil, criminal, and administrative enforcement
mechanisms. The paper concludes by proposing reforms aimed at strengthening
enforcement while preserving access, innovation, and constitutional values.
