The Office of Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks has taken the following steps to strengthen the process and creations of Intellectual Property Rights.
(i) The filing of Patents and Trademarks applications has been made online.
(ii) Almost all the old Intellectual Property (IP) records have been digitized and new records are digitized immediately.
(iii) Automated Electronic modules have been adopted to process the Patents and Trademarks applications which enabled achieving enhanced speed, accuracy and transparency.
(iv) The Information Technology infrastructures have been upgraded.

The Office of CGPDTM nominates its officers as resource persons for these programmes who give presentations on importance of IPRs and procedures for grant / registration of Patents, Designs, Trade Marks and Geographical Indications.
The Indian Patents Act is in conformity with its international obligations under the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreements.
