: : : : I am an investor interested in outsourcing patent and copyright law offshore. If offshored to India, everyone can benefit. Has anyone heard of this before? : : : What exactly do you want them to do? If you want patents in India, that's the way to go. : <big snip> : : Dear Mr. Ivey, : : Are you suggesting that getting a patent in India is of any value in the US to a citizen or resident unless they are going to use it in India? I have not checked, but I suspect that India is not even a Member of the Paris Convention. : : M. Arthur Auslander : I assume you're referring to the portion I left above. My point is that the only purpose I see in having a patent application drafted in India (or any legal services performed in India) is to have intellectual property in India. : It's not like outsourcing software development where it doesn't matter who wrote the software as long as it works according to specification. Each country has it's own set of laws. : Now, whether an individual wants IP in India is up to them. A number of my clients do want that -- American or otherwise. : And, India is a member of the PCT. Has been for a while. : http://www.wipo.int/pct/guide/en/ : Regards.
