Startups to need only DIPP certificate for IPR gains
Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday announced that startups would now need only a Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) certificate to avail Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) benefits. Earlier, an entrepreneur had to approach an inter-ministerial board to procure the IPR benefits. The move is a part of the government's 'Start-up India’ action plan.
