In India, the formulation of policy related to Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) is primarily the responsibility of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), which is part of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
DPIIT oversees the offices of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM), which administers the various IPR laws in India.
While other ministries might be involved in specific sector-related IPR issues (e.g., agriculture, health), the overarching policy framework and coordination for IPRs in India fall under the domain of DPIIT.
