Beside defense drone tech has vast application in commercial field as well as socio economic sectors like agriculture. Drone technology investments are surging fast as research forecasts show explosive growth. Drones are currently a rapidly expanding industry and so its IPR requirement is also getting more attention.

There was fluctuation in filing drone patents in India during 2020-21. The drop was due to Covid-19 pandemic repercussion.

“Drone adoption is expected to alter in the year ahead as funding in the field expands coupled with a favorable government atmosphere. The government’s willingness to deploy drones for a range of uses will provide a huge boost, pushing the homegrown industry’s estimated value higher. Drones are being adopted to various use cases, especially for critical inspection and deliveries. Apart from this, Government of India is ensuring that technology is no longer intimidating for farmers. To help agriculture sector GOI has taken important steps like Swamitva, Drone rule 2021, SOP for Agri drone, Hara Bhara Project and PLI scheme for drones and drone components. New regulatory rules for using drones in India are built on the premise of “trust, self-certification, and monitoring with the minimal scope of intrusion.” Therefore, any impact of these new Indian government rules and regulations on patent filing can be expected in the forthcoming”, said Binod Singh, a renowned Patent Research expert and Entrepreneur, Co-founder and Director of Einfolge- a global leader in Patent and Market Research.
