The Indian agrochemical sector is navigating a complex and changing landscape defined by new regulations, fierce competition from generics, and the rising strategic importance of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Success for Indian companies hinges on their ability to move beyond generic production towards sustainable innovation, while strategically managing their patent portfolios. 

To navigate this changing landscape, companies should focus on expanding R&D capabilities, target specific off-patent molecules, process innovation for cost advantage, strategic collaborations, and embracing sustainable solutions. 

Topics to be covered during the session are: Stricter regulatory framework; Balancing innovation and affordability; Absence of regulatory data protection; Judicial hurdles and evolving procedures; Strategic patenting of processes and combinations; Proactive patent portfolio management; Leveraging off-patent molecules for export growth; and Developing a long-term IP strategy.
