New Delhi, Sept 10 (KNN) A new payment gateway integrated to the e-filing system of the Intellectual Property Office has been launched. It would enable payment using internet banking, credit cards or debit cards of more than 70 banks as against internet banking of two banks earlier.
The comprehensive e-filing facility covering all Forms was made available earlier by IPO for patents and for trademarks. Through the launch of the new payment gateway, the online filing which has already shown a quick leap from 25 per cent to 75 per cent is expected to increase further.
Secretary, Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Amitabh Kant inaugurated a new office building constructed for the Intellectual Property Office of India in the national capital on September-8.
The building is dedicated to the functioning of the Indian Patent Office as International Searching Authority (ISA) and International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).
The ISA/IPEA building is constructed under plan scheme of the Government of India, ‘Modernization and Strengthening of Intellectual Property Offices’, at an expenditure of Rs 30.2 crore, provides ample space and facilities for proper management of ISA/IPEA operations. The building has state of the art infrastructure and a hall of fame to showcase and highlight the notable products protected by intellectual property.
The new payment gateway integrated to the e-filing system of the Intellectual Property Office was also inaugurated by Kant.
Speaking on the occasion, the Secretary stressed the importance of intellectual property in upgrading the manufacturing abilities of the fledgling Indian manufacturing sector. He informed that the government will be soon formulating an IPR policy.
During the occasion, Kant released the first issue of “IP Expressions”a technical magazine that provides a platform for the officials of IPO to share the knowledge and experience gained in the field of intellectual property. Starting initially as a biannual publication, the IP Expressions is expected to benefit the IP fraternity, researchers, students, academicians and public at large as a source of IP information.
Kant also launched the latest innovation in transparency offered by the Indian Patent Office namely the ‘Stock and Flow’. This facility already existing for trademarks has been extended to patents also from today onwards. Through this facility the work happening in the entire Patent office is being thrown open to the world. The stock and flow in the Patent Offices at different locations is shown on a real time basis on the official website. IPO is the first among intellectual property offices across the world to achieve this ultimate transparency.
Addressing the gathering Joint Secretary, DIPP, D V Prasad said that tremendous administrative reforms have been taking place in the IP offices during the recent years. In transparency initiatives, the office excels other intellectual property offices across the world.
He informed that in order to achieve speedy disposal of IP applications, there will be further augmentation of infrastructure and manpower in the intellectual property offices during the 12th Five Year Plan.
The Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks, Chaitanya Prasad in his introductory speech stated that the office is set to further upgrade its infrastructure to fulfil the increasing commitment.
IPO believes in absolute transparency and the Controller General expressed hope that the stakeholders would find the newly launched payment gateway as well as the Stock and Flow convenient and satisfactory. (KNN/SD)
