Importance of Intellectual Property in the Auto Sector:
Intellectual property serves as the bedrock of innovation and competitiveness in the auto sector.
Patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets play pivotal roles in protecting innovations, designs, brands, and business processes.

Patent Protection: Japanese auto manufacturers prioritize patent filings to safeguard their technological innovations.  These patents cover various aspects including engine technologies, safety features, fuel efficiency enhancements, and electric vehicle advancements.
Fact Sheet: According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Japanese auto companies collectively filed thousands of patents in India over the past decade. Toyota filed the highest number of patents among Japanese automakers in India, focusing on hybrid and electric vehicle technologies.

This data underscores the proactive approach adopted by Japanese companies to safeguard their intellectual property while capitalizing on India’s burgeoning automotive market.
