Syllabus & Overview
MIP-107 Guess Paper: Trade Secrets, Competition Law and Protection of TCE
This structured guess paper is designed for Term-End Exam (TEE) preparation, incorporating solved questions from the last 5-10 years (June & December sessions) and chapter-wise weightage analysis. The focus is on Block-1: Trade Secrets and Unfair Competition, Block-2: Competition Law, and Block-3: Protection of Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCE)—directly aligned with IGNOU’s official syllabus.
Key Scoring Topics & Exam Weightage

- Definition and legal framework of trade secrets under Indian law (Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872; Trade Secrets Act, 2021 draft).
- Case studies: Nestlé v. Darjeeling Tea Board (misappropriation), Cadbury v. Coca-Cola (passing-off).
- Unfair competition: Descriptive vs. generic terms, Coca-Cola Co. v. Coca-Cola Co. (India).
- Block-2: Competition Law
- Indian Competition Act 2002: Abuse of dominance (Section 4), anti-competitive agreements (Section 3).
- CCI decisions: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. v. Tata Communications, GlaxoSmithKline v. Cipla.
- Merger control and foreign investment under Section 5/6.
- Block-3: Protection of Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCE)

- Case studies: Kani Tribes v. Google (geographical indications), Bharat Mata v. Coca-Cola (cultural appropriation).
- IPR and TCE: Copyright vs. traditional knowledge protection.
3-Hour Exam Time Management Tips
- Allocate 45 minutes for Block-1 (Trade Secrets) and 60 minutes for Block-2 (Competition Law) due to higher case-law weightage.
- Spend 30 minutes on Block-3 (TCE) with focus on WIPO/India-specific provisions.
- Prioritize short-answer questions (30 marks) over long answers (20 marks) if time is constrained.
- Use past-year questions
