Explanation:

The US Trade Representative’s (USTR) office has recently again placed India on the ‘priority watch’ list in this year’s Special 301 report despite the country rolling out National IPR Policy in 2016. India has been placed in ‘priority watch’ list owing to USTR’s view that India has not made adequate changes in
its intellectual property (IP) laws and regulations.
India is being ranked poorly in the IPR index being done by the US Chamber of Commerce’s Global IntellectualProperty Center (GIPC). This is despite an Out-of-cycle review (OCR) of the India’sIPR regime by the USTR on India’s IPR laws. The policy was drafted confirming to the World TradeOrganisation’s Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS).
