About the Index-

• In 2012, the U.S. Chamber released the inaugural edition of the International IP Index. 
• The Index provides a rigorous, academic tool by which countries can assess the strength of their IP system and compare it to that of their neighbors and economic competitors.
• It has 50 discrete indicators across nine separate categories measuring the strength of a national IP environment with respect to both the legal situation and levels of IP rights enforcement on the ground. 
• The indicators cover all major cross-sectoral IP rights as well as sector specific rights.
• The nine categories are Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks, Design Rights, Trade Secrets, Commercialization of IP Assets, Enforcement, Systemic Efficiency, Membership And Ratification Of International Treaties.
• Out of the 53 economies included in both the ninth and tenth editions, 45 economies saw a net improvement in their scores. 

• The index is topped by the USA, the UK, Germany, Sweden and France.

• United Arab Emirates (UAE), Nigeria, and Peru had the largest improvements in score at 4.04%, 3.91%, and 2.76%, respectively. 
• India’s overall score has increased from 38.40 percent (19.20 out of 50) in the ninth edition to 38.64 percent (19.32 out of 50) in the 10th edition. 

• Overall, India is ranked 43 out of 55 countries in the International IP Index.

• In July 2021, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Commerce released a Review of the Intellectual Property Rights Regime in India. 
• It is the first major attempt at assessing the state of India’s IP policy regime since 2016’s National Intellectual Property Rights Policy.\
