Copyrights are looked after by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. Legislation on Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Protection is handled by the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Information Technology is responsible for implementation of the Information Technology Act and the Semiconductor IC Layout Designs Act.

Besides these administrative Ministries, there are a number of other Ministries and Departments such as Information & Broadcasting, Tribal Affairs, Culture, Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Industries which are also involved with either enforcement or commercialization of IP.
