With rising patent litigation in India\, quality of patents and the scope provided thereby is a crucial aspect that is evaluated/scrutinized by the courts/appellate boards. Furthermore\, gone are the times when Indian companies\, universities\, and individuals were only looking forward to creating defensive patent portfolios in India\, wherein entities are nowadays looking towards building an aggressive portfolio with sustainable commercial value. More and more PCT and convention applications are being filed each month/year by Indian applicants with around 40-60 Indian priority taking PCT Applications being published each week. Most of these patents are filed with an objective of either licensing\, or enforcement\, or in-house commercialization\, and hence quality of patent drafting including claim drafting\, scope of protection accorded\, variety of embodiments presented\, support in the specification\, limitations provided\, among other aspects is crucial to patent applications. \nThis initiative of IPDC comes with an earnest effort by IIPRD and K&K to promote the development of patent drafting as a skill set and encourage more and more technical people to take up patent drafting as a professional competency\, along with identifying and encouraging top patent drafters in the country. \nEvent URL: https://www.iiprd.com/fifth-international-patent-drafting-competition-ipdc/ \n  URL:/event/5th-international-patent-drafting-competition-ipdc/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
