How Intellectual Property Wins High-Value Government Contracts
In Indian public procurement, patents and trademarks are not just legal rights—they are powerful competitive levers under General Financial Rules (GFR 2017).
GFR Rule 166 (PAC Bidding)
Under GFR Rule 166, government departments can procure goods directly from a single vendor on a Proprietary Article Certificate (PAC) basis without floating an open tender, provided the vendor holds a patent or proprietary monopoly.
GeM OEM Dashboard & MAF
To register as an OEM on GeM, manage catalog listings, and issue Manufacturer Authorization Forms (MAF) to resellers, a valid Trademark (Registered or Pending Application) in the exact product class is mandatory.
GFR Rule 173(i) Exemptions
DPIIT-recognized Startups possessing patents or innovative technologies can seek statutory relaxation of Prior Turnover and Prior Experience criteria under GFR Rule 173(i), allowing them to bid against legacy conglomerates.
Make-in-India (MII) Compliance
Under the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order, domestic IP ownership proves genuine local technology generation, safeguarding Class-I Local Supplier status and preventing foreign technology royalty scrutiny.
