कोणत्या कारणासाठी बौद्धिक संपदा अधिकार विकसित करण्यात आला आहे ?

The correct answer is Option D (All the above).

Key Points:
• India updated its Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) framework (patents, copyrights, trademarks, geographical indications, and traditional knowledge) using a multi-pronged approach:
• Safeguarding National Interests: Protecting public health access through compulsory licensing (Section 84 of Patent Act) and creating the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) to prevent bio-piracy.
• Creating Awareness: Fostering an indigenous innovation and research ecosystem among scientists, universities, and small businesses.
• Meeting International Obligations: Aligning domestic statutes with the WTO TRIPS Agreement (via Patent Amendments of 1999, 2002, and 2005 introducing product patents) and WIPO treaties.
• Because all three objectives are core pillars of India's intellectual property regime, Option 4 (All the above) is correct.
• Key Takeaway: India's IPR strategy balances TRIPS compliance, fostering domestic innovation, and safeguarding public health and national interests.
