A Law in Common: India and the United States
A democratic republic. A revolutionary constitution for its time and place. Nuclear weapons. Religious and cultural diversity. Centuries of oppression. Polarized politics. Terrorism. An aversion to China's ascent. Divisive leadership. Are you thinking of India or the United States? As the title suggests, the world's largest democracies have a lot in common. Using comparative law methods, we examine legal and policy issues that affect India and the United States. We interview experts on both countries on diverse topics such as caste discrimination, intellectual property, and bankruptcy. We hope each country can benefit by the laws and practices of each country. Hosted by Professor Sital Kalantry and numerous students at Cornell Law School and Seattle University Law School.

How do Patent Laws Impact India-US Trade Relations?

India Center for Law and Justice
The Office of the United States Trade Representative’s (USTR) most recent Special 301 report continued to identify India as “one of the world’s most challenging major economies with respect to protection and enforcement of IP.” The USTR has long argued that India fails to provide adequate patent protection and enforcement. What exactly are the USTR’s objections? How does this impact India’s trade relations with the United States?
Expert guest Professor Srividhya Ragavan, Professor of Law and Director of International Programs at Texas A&M University School of Law will shed light on these and other questions.
