Indian Army has obtained Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) of the design and camouflage pattern of its newly introduced Camouflage Pattern Dress.
The copyright of the design is with the Indian Army for 10 years extendable by another five years. The Army has obtained IPR of the design to “prevent unauthorized vendors from manufacturing and selling the combat pattern dress in the open market as it was posing a serious security threat for the Indian Army and the Nation as a whole”.
The improved combat uniform was unveiled by the Chief of Army Staff during the Army Day.
