Goa, 2nd May 2016: The JK Tyre IndiKarting National Series brought back Kart racing to Goa after a span of over 5 years as the scenic Goa Karting Circuit played host to the 2nd round of India’s largest Karting Series. The event received an enthusiastic welcome with an impressive 141 entries registered across all categories.
The star of the event was Aanjan Patodia from Pune who notched up 3 victories out of 3 races in the Pro Senior category including the crucial reverse grid start race 2 where he climbed from last on the grid to 1st place. Aaroh Ravindra was a close 2nd place each of the 3 races, but was unable to mount a challenge on Aanjan. Bengaluru’s Rahul Sharan managed 3rd in 2 races while Rishab Rathi came 3rd in 1 race.
The crowd favourite was the Pro Cadet category for the youngest racers in the age group of 7 to 12 years.

Chief Guests
Shri PK Malhotra, Secretary, Ministry of Law and Justice

Need for Compulsory Li censing

It is requested to kindly fill the form given below to get registered for the Conference -http://cmai.asia/ipr/registration.php
Details about conference are available at http://cmai.asia/ipr/
For E-Brochure Click Here
Background:
Information based on studies conducted by CMAI/TEMA pertaining to existing status in India/world, various judgments of Delhi High Court, CCI, papers/notes of CCI/DIPP/Govt. and our recommendations etc. are available at
Of late IPR on electronics, telecom, and mobile has been receiving attention with manufacturers and there are undefined costs on manufacturing.
DIPP came up with open consultations for IPR policies especially with reference to SEP and FRAND. CMAI/TEMA has filed the responses that can be seen athttp://cmai.asia/ipr/download.php. The same would be discussed in the conference and any other suggestions/recommendations sent to Government at higher level. Executive Summary of these recommendations are given hereunder.
The news in Hindustan Times on 23.2.2016 with heading “Make in India runs into high royalty fee hurdle” highlighted the grievances of the manufactures of smart phones/cell phones in India, particularly on the issue of high cost of Royalty payable to the entities having Standard Essential Patents (SEPs). Such high cost has become a hurdle in the Govt. of India’s initiative of “Make –in-India”. It is also a matter of concern that the Royalty is being charged on the value of entire device of mobile phone in place of the value of the component in which such Patents are used.
Delhi High Court in its judgment dated 30.3.2016 has upheld the orders of CCI, directing the DG CCI to investigate the matter regarding violations of the provisions of the Competition Act by Ericssons, as SEP holders. As per Consultation paper floated by DIPP vide para 10.2.1.1
CCI in its preliminary order stated that, in the relevant product market, Ericsson was ‘the largest holder of SEPs for mobile communications like 2G, 3G and 4G patents used for smart phones, tablets etc. and thus was in a dominant position in the market for devices that implement such standards. CCI expressed that ‘FRAND licenses are primarily intended to prevent “patent holdup” and “royalty stacking” and observed that “patent hold-up” undermines ‘the competitive process of choosing among technologies’ and thus threatens ‘the integrity of Standard Setting activities. CCI also said that Ericsson’s royalty rates were excessive and discriminatory, given that they were set as a percentage of the price of downstream products instead of as a percentage of the price of the GSM or CDMA chip
The CCI concluded that the requested royalties ‘had no linkage to the patented product’ and were thus ‘discriminatory as well as contrary to FRAND terms’. CCI further ordered investigation in the matter by the Director General.
There is issue of SSO forming the standards without informing the details of patents involved and royalties payable on same.
There is also ambiguity on SEP, as the same are not declared by SSO or any other statutory authority. SSO while forming the standards hardly scrutinize or validate the patents and do not prescribe any guidelines for licenses, which are left for private individual negotiations
The patentee undertakes to SSO to grant license on FRAND basis, but there is any acceptable definition of FRAND and it is left to private negotiations. Due to NDA, the patentee or licensees do not inform the existing terms of royalty with other users. Finally the matter lands up in civil courts.
In the courts, majority of disputes are settled by way of out of Court settlements.
High cost of Royalty has always been a cause of concern in the minds of mobile and telecom manufactures and the rate of Royalty has always been the issue contested in the Courts not only in India but also abroad. The law regarding fixation of Royalty is in the developing state. Any determination, though claimed to be on FRAND basis, is hardly a standard industry practice. The determination on so called FRAND basis has always been a question challenged in the Courts along with the issue that whether or not the Royalty should be charged on entire value or to it should be restricted to the small component in which the SEPs has been utilized.
CMAI is working closely for bringing in harmony between Industries and Government.
The Conference will be graced by eminent Speakers–
Shri Hari Om Rai, Chairman, Lava International Ltd.
Mr. Ajay Kumar, Additional Secretary, DeitY (Invited)
Mr. Rajiv Aggarwal, Joint Secretary, Dept. of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Ministry of Commerce & Industry (Invited)
Mr. Anil Bhardwaj, Advisor, Competition Commission of India

Mr. Bhupesh Raseen, Head-Corporate Affairs, Lava International Ltd.
Mr. Sanjay Jha, Head-Corporate Affairs, Intex Technologies
Shri OP Nahar, Former Chairman, FEMA tribunal
Shri TN Tiwari, Former Additional Secretary, Ministry of Law
The programme is scheduled to be held on 11th June, 2016 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi.
Make in India, a major national program is designed to facilitate investment, foster innovation, enhance skill development, protect intellectual property and build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure. There’s never been a better time to Make in India.
Government of India has given high priority in “Make in India-Manufacturing”. Make in India is an initiative taken up by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to strengthen/boost India’s Manufacturing Sector and also to attract foreign investment in India. This initiative will give boost to India’s National Economy and current sectors in India will have a huge positive impact, employment generation. This will help India in making a self reliant country with Global recognition.
This will make the Indian market competitive, resulting to best quality products with minimal rates and with full utilization of resources. This progress and growth will also result in raising issues of IPR in India.
In case you have any queries or seek any clarifications, you may call Ms. Apurva Jain at +91-9711316222 or Mr. Navtesh Kumar at +91-9711869771
Representatives from Government of India, Industry Stakeholders and other Telecom & IT Associations of India are expected to participate in this event, which will be extensively covered by the media.
