Abstract

Intellectual property has both domestic as well as an international dimension and thus conveys a dual character. Intellectual Properties are governed by national laws and regulations, while international treaties protect intangible property rights and provide procedures for the exercise of these rights by contracting parties. The long-term growth and development of all country’s economies require strong intellectual property rights (IPR) protection around the world. “International Intellectual Property Treaties”, on the other hand, are necessary to achieve strong intellectual property protection to support the development of new technologies and the expansion of the global economy, and they contain uniform rules and regulations. To promote innovation and creativity, which are seen as key drivers of long-term economic growth, the majority of United Nations member states have adopted various policies to protect and promote “Intellectual Property Rights”. In the second half of the 19th century, technological flows became more global and international trade increased, resulting in a greater need to harmonize “industrial property law’ in the field of patents and trademarks. Basic intellectual property guidelines are provided, including provisions on national treatment for Passing off and unfair competition. These include provisions protecting patents, utility models, designs, trademarks, service marks, trade names, sources and appeal marks. These agreements served both the purpose of intellectual property and the purpose of setting minimum standards for its protection. These agreements provide a minimum standard for enforcing intellectual property rights and enable rights holders to defend their legitimate interests through civil courts or administrative proceedings. This paper aims to analyse the various international instruments for the protection of Handloom sector under the Intellectual Property Regime
