Abstract

Feminist Jurisprudence has developed over the years which has made its way over lot of fields and has improved the representation of women or gave them with a voice to raise their concerns and help other who need opportunities but Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is one of such areas where feminist jurisprudence has not developed to that extent where it can benefit the women to increase their participation in commercializing their work or getting patent on an innovative and a novel idea. This not only impact women’s social standing but also hampers the economic condition of the women which results in lower GDP of a country which will again result in less available opportunities for women and this becomes a never ending vicious cycle Women in India are less likely to commercialise the knowledge or the process that they have been practicing over the period of time. A nation should always try to strive in promoting women in the technical fields and encouraging them to research on innovative ideas and get them patented. The laws should be made responsive for women that especially cater to the needs where there is an assurance to women that they have a system to fall back on to get justice.
