The implementation of the scheme will strengthen the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (CGPDTM) and address the increase in the number of fillings of IP applications.
It will also address the growing international commitments due to the operationalization of the Madrid Protocol and status of International Search Authority (ISA) / International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA).

The growing importance of intellectual property in a globalized economic environment has placed greater demand on the IP institutional structure, India’s accession to the Madrid Protocol on 8th April, 2013 and its coming into effect from July 8, 2013 as also the operationalization of the Office of CGPDTM as International Search Authority / International Preliminary Examining Authority (ISA/IPEA) under the Patent Cooperation, Treaty from October 15, 2013 will further impact the workload of the Office of CGPDTM.
