Explanation

The National Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy was adopted in 2016 with the slogan "Creative India; Innovative India".

  • Statement 1 is correct: The policy explicitly states that India shall remain committed to the Doha Declaration on TRIPS Agreement and Public Health. It aims to protect intellectual property while ensuring that India continues to utilize the flexibilities available under the WTO's TRIPS agreement to protect public interest, especially in the healthcare sector.
  • Statement 2 is correct: The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, was designated as the nodal department to coordinate, guide, and oversee the implementation of IPRs in India. This involved bringing various IPRs, including Copyrights and Semiconductor Integrated Circuits Layout-Designs, under the single jurisdiction of DIPP (now renamed DPIIT) to ensure synergy.
