II. Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)
III. Strasbourg Agreement
IV. Substantive Patent Law Treaty
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
In January 2010 India was a party to the Paris Convention and to the Patent Cooperation Treaty, both from 7 December 1998, so statements I and II are correct. India had not then joined the Strasbourg Agreement Concerning the International Patent Classification, and the Substantive Patent Law Treaty was a draft under negotiation in WIPO that was never concluded.
Current law: India acceded to the Strasbourg Agreement on 7 July 2025, with effect from 7 July 2026, so it is now a member of the Paris Convention, the PCT and the Strasbourg Agreement.
