US Launches Review of India's Intellectual Property Regime

 
US today launched a review of India's Intellectual Property Regime, in which the focus is to measure the engagement that New Delhi has pursued in terms of intellectual property. The USTR's 'Out-of-Cycle' (OCR) Review follows the 2014 Special 301 Report that came out in April, in which the US Trade Representative (USTR) had placed India on the 'Priority Watch List'. 
 
The Obama administration had been strongly critical of India's investment climate and IPR laws, especially in the pharmaceutical and solar sectors.
