Abstract : The article compares relative technological assertiveness of India and China by using patenting as a strategic act for protection of respective trading interest. Patenting activities (in the US) of both these countries in the pre- and post-WTO period have been analysed for this purpose. The analysis suggests that India, although has covered much ground vis-à-vis China in patent-related activities, is yet to activate the process of utilization of the patented technology for economic benefit. The article concludes that India needs a long -run trade-related technology strategy for creation of economic wealth from patent.
