💨 Abstract

The US has placed India on its 'priority watch list' for the 13th consecutive year, citing inadequate protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPRs). The US Trade Representative's (USTR) 2025 Special 301 report states that India has shown inconsistent progress, with patent issues being a particular concern due to long waiting periods and excessive reporting requirements.
