This chapter will support our economies through effective and balanced protection and enforcement of IP rights. It covers copyright and related rights, designs, trade marks, geographical indications (GIs), patents, and trade secrets, as well as the enforcement of IP rights, and ongoing co-operation in relation to IP matters.

The agreement is not yet in force. Both the UK and India are required to complete their respective domestic procedures for the agreement to come into effect. Once ratified by both countries, businesses will be able to trade under its terms.
