Chief Justice DN Patel, Delhi High Court welcoming the guests.

Justice Prathiba M Singh, Chairperson, IP Division Delhi informing about the vision said, an IP friendly adjudication regime will encourage local businesses and also recognise foreign IP owners.

Guest of Honour Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs addressing the gathering said, "India is a State where growth and the focus on development has got to be strengthened from every side and IPR plays a very important role in that.

Sitharaman: The boost that is given through the support of Judiciary has actually encouraged more innovation, more copyrights and more patents in India.

Chief Guest, NV Ramana, Chief Justice of India speaking at the event said that in the field of IP a big background in the development of law should be looked into.

Justice Ramana further said that there is a emergent need to fill up the vacancies and there is also a need to increase the number of Judges, with better service conditions we may be able to attract more. Judicial infrastructure also needs to be improved.

Justice Ramana said, "Judicial infrastructure needs to be improved, unfortunately we are not even meeting the basic minimum standards in this area, it has been my endeavour since assuming the office of CJI, to put in place a mechanism."
