India continues to be on the ‘Top Priority Watch List’ of the United States Trade Agent (USTR) for absence of adequate intellectual property (IP) rights protection and enforcement, the USTR stated in its Yearly Special 301 Report, released on Wednesday.
India remained one of the most difficult economies for IP enforcement and security, the report stated, utilizing language it has utilized formerly. Algeria, Argentina, Chile, China, Indonesia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and Venezuela are likewise on the Concern Watch List. While India made “meaningful development” to boost IP defense and enforcement in some areas over the previous year, it did not deal with current and long-standing difficulties, and created brand-new ones, the report stated. The very same assessment was made in the 2019 report.
