NN Prasad, joint secretary at India’s Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), has been selected as the “chef de cabinet” to Francis Gurry, the director general of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
Shamnad Basheer, professor in IP law at the University of Juridical Sciences in Kolkata, explained that Prasad has helped change the face of the Indian IP administration, increasing the influence the nation has in the international IP arena.
“Prasad’s legacy at the DIPP has been nothing short of exemplary,” said Basheer. “He was one of the first bureaucrats to take an active interest in the administration of the Indian patent office. He openly supported principles of public participation and transparency and was one of the first government servants to hold public consultations on the draft patent manual.”
