\nThe US is proud to play a part in that awakening.

One particularly noteworthy aspect of our relationship is our work together on science and technology cooperation, including through the US-India Science and Technology Endowment Fund (USISTEF).

Innovation relies on creativity. To sustain creativity in today's international economy, we need a comprehensive framework of IP rights (
IPR<\/a>), where innovators can be assured that their ideas will be protected from theft. Innovators need to know that they will be compensated for their creativity and hard work.

\n
\nThe US has a strong record on protecting IP. Nearly a third of our workforce is based in industries that are afforded robust protection of their innovations, such as aerospace, information technology , entertainment, and life-sciences. We believe every economy can benefit from rigorous and balanced IP systems that protect ideas, incentivise innovation and investment, and safeguard creative output.
\n
\nIndia's steps to strengthen its own IPR environment, heralded in 2016 by the release of its first National IPR Policy , is welcome. More action is to be encouraged.

Protection of IP is critical to the development of an innovative knowledge economy and unlocks vast economic benefits by supporting the creative potential of our people. On

以其强劲的经济增长,年轻的人口,和世界各地的影响力不断扩大,现代印度在历史上一个重要的时刻。有一个越来越感觉到,在这大,多样化的国家,印度的创新精神是觉醒。

美国是自豪地参与,觉醒。美国最具创新精神的公司在印度有一个强大的业务多年,我们看到越来越多创新的印度公司在美国投资。在政府,我们广泛的双边对话与合作等问题上公共卫生、教育、网络、遗传代数和军事i o n s再保险fl e c t t h e l g o s t h在华盛顿和新德里份额。

一个特别值得注意的方面,我们的关系是我们的科技合作,包括通过美印科技捐赠基金(USISTEF)。该基金是我们两国政府之间的共同努力,提供赠款融资,2.5卢比,印度和美国联合开发的创新者,社会有关创新和创业精神。

七年来,该项目支持在各种领域的25个项目。正是这种基金提供至关重要的资本和支持NeoBreathe新生儿人工呼吸器,Aquasap bio-stimulant,和Qora大便失禁的设备。这些和其他许多项目,联合开发的创新者在印度和美国,提供解决方案,不仅有利于我们两国的公民,但全球社区。

创新依赖于创造力。保持创造力在当今国际经济,我们需要一个全面的知识产权框架(知识产权),创新者可以确信他们的想法将会免受盗窃。创新者需要知道他们会补偿他们的创造力和勤奋工作。

投资者也寻找知识产权保护,寻找机会,它们将产生商业回报。这些真理表格的基石莫迪的启动印度总理倡议。

美国有很强的保护知识产权的记录。近三分之一的劳动力在产业创新提供强大的保护,如航空航天、信息技术、娱乐、和生命科学。我们相信每一个经济可以受益于严格的和平衡的知识产权体制,保护思想,激励创新和投资,维护创造性的输出。

印度的措施,加强自己的知识产权环境,预示2016年首次发布的国家知识产权政策,是受欢迎的。更多的行动是被鼓励。

保护知识产权是至关重要的一个创新的知识经济的发展,大量释放经济效益通过支持我们的人民的创造性潜力。在世界知识产权日,让我们花一些时间来识别和庆祝我们国家的巨大的创造潜能,承诺尊重和保护对方的知识产权,并庆祝印度和美国创新者和他们改善生活的能力。
