Trade secrets are the type of intellectual property most relied upon by businesses all over the world to retain a competitive advantage. This tool kit aims to guide Indian businesses especially MSMEs and Start-ups regarding the protection of trade secrets.Speaking at the event, Patrick Kilbride, Senior Vice President of the U.S. Chamber's Global Innovation Policy Center, said "Innovation has revolutionized life in India. Competitiveness, going forward, is rooted in IP-led innovation. India is on the rise, some modest upgrades to the IP system in India will propel innovation in the country to the next level. India has an opportunity to get ahead, drive domestic growth and be an engine for global economic growth.""Since India and US both are innovation economies, If India succeeds in becoming a leader in the global knowledge economy, U.S. industries will also benefit. This will not only enhance mutual success growth but also augment the strong relations between both countries," he added.( With inputs from ANI )
