Meeting with IP Stakeholders
Anubha made submissions pertaining to CIS' study on lack of compliance and enforcement in respect of filing statements of working of patents:
- Large percentage (~ 20%) of patents' Form 27s were found to be missing (dataset of approx 5000 patents);
- 3% of the patents did not mention status on working of patents;
- Almost none of the available Form 27s provided any useful information - patentees did not bother filling out several parts of the Form.
In addition, I sent a brief on the issue drawn from Prof. Contreras' and Rohini's paper, and Rohini's older email to the IPO describing issues with the website.
